Studio Hours - Currently Enrolling!
Studio Hours is a freeform art class for adult artists (18+) with and without disabilities at all stages of their creative journeys to work towards their boldest dreams!
We offer a place for passionate people to develop their creative practice on their own terms. We’ll provide the studio space, supplies, and the support of an Artist Mentor. Artists use this time to learn new techniques, get creative feedback and inspiration, build friendships, and collaborate with others.
During Studio Hours, artists can make whatever they want to make. Our job is to help you get there. Join us today!
Are you ready to make art with us?
1.) Fill out this new artist form and we’ll get in touch with you soon!
2.) Summertime will call or email you within two weeks to check in and set a date for an introductory chat on Zoom.
3.) Intro Chat: We will meet on Zoom to get to know you and your artwork and see if Summertime is a good fit. We’ll tell you more about Summertime and the different programs we offer. Please bring 5-10 sample artworks to show! (Families and/or Service Providers are welcome to attend, but not required.)
4.) Summertime will check in once again. If we’re on the same page, we will set a date for a Trial Day at Summertime.
5.) Trial Day: You’ll see what it’s like to spend the day as a Summertime artist in our community. We’ll make art together in our beautiful Brooklyn space! No need to bring any materials, we’ll supply them all.
6.) Feedback call: Next up… You know it! Summertime will check in to see how the day went. If we want to move ahead, we will set up a time for an Intake Meeting at Summertime.
7.) Intake meeting: This is where we get into the nitty gritty of your goals, preferences, needs, schedule, background, and absolutely anything else we should know to make you happy and safe at Summertime. Please fill out this emergency contact form before the meeting!
8.) We will then work with your support team to get you enrolled in Summertime as soon as possible. This process normally takes a few weeks but can take up to a few months.
9.) Welcome to Summertime. You’re officially a Summertime Studio Hours artist. Welcome to the family!
