We provide open studio space for those working on personal projects, free studio workshops with our artists with all materials given, writers' group for the writers and poets where they share their writings freely and openly with a poetry slam on the first Thursday of the month, more importantly, Studio Central is an inclusive community offering safer space for adults. -Upbeat Artworks, Gallery Boutique (Social Enterprise): volunteer-run, Upbeat Artworks is a gallery-boutique promoting mental health awareness by featuring artworks of Artbeat Studio Alumni representing a unique collection of original artworks. Upbeat Artworks provides the opportunity for patrons to share this journey with each of the featured artists. Whether it’s how art saves lives, art needs love, or art works, art has a story. Upbeat Artworks was initiated to help bring these stories to life and to share them with a wider audience. You can also shop online at https://www.upbeatartworks.com/
