Artist Studios

Our Artist Studio programs provide affordable creative workspace for practicing artists in a supportive, nurturing environment. HoCo Arts offers three unique studio programs for local artists.

Resident Studio Artist Program

The Resident Studio Artist Program provides studio space as well as opportunities for professional and social engagement within a lively, multidisciplinary community arts center. Artists may work independently, connect and exchange ideas with fellow artists, exhibit their work, and engage with the public during scheduled open studio events.
