Studio Artists are welcome to enjoy the SWARM Studio Experience with fellow artists, who love to inspire and create.

Bring Your Own Easels (BYOE) and we will assist you with the unloading and set-up process of your new studio environment. Tables will be provided for those artists who work on horizontal surfaces. At the end of every day, the Studio rooms will be securely locked. Wednesday through Saturday’s creativity will conclude with a Sidewalk Sale on Saturday, followed by a Sunday Art Exhibition / Reception.
