Studio C – A Community Art Studio


Studio C is CAAC’s new community arts studio. With an emphasis on Glass and Ceramic arts, the studio welcomes all skill levels to workshops and open studio sessions. Located at Columbus Propeller on the AirPark Campus, Studio C will be equipped with professional-quality tools, materials, and safety equipment. Our plan includes three key components:

  • Open Studio Hours: The public can drop in to use the equipment and seek expert advice on their projects.

  • Artist-Led Workshops: Accessible, beginner-friendly workshops will be offered to the public at low cost.

  • Artists in Residence: Professional artists will create their own work, sharing their expertise with the community.

Fashion Awards  |  Dress is "creative cocktail"

Join us in celebrating the art of fashion as we acknowledge the most stylish hats. Judging will take place throughout the evening and awards will be given in two categories. 

"Most Stylish" – recognizing the attendee whose hat and ensemble exude sartorial elegance or trendsetting style. 

"Most Creative" – honoring the attendee who presents the most imaginative and expertly crafted homemade hat.

 

Thank you to our awards judge, Ana Meza, artist, fabricator, and style maverick. Check out our fashion and theme inspiration board on Pinterest.
