Thanks very much to the @thebaltimorebanner.com for visiting yesterday and for this piece about Disability Pride Arts Fest! (Please note that the performance program runs from 12-1, not 1-2 as printed.)

Sorry, Bluesky! We’ve been neglecting you. That stops now (until we do it again…apologies in advance). You can catch up on our latest happenings here: mailchi.mp/make-studio/...

Last up in this installment of “Introducing…”, in which we publicly welcome our newest artists, is Sutton Clark! “I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember. When I'm drawing, it puts me in my own little world and I become a part of my drawing.” Sutton also has a great sense of humor!

Next up in “Introducing…”, in which we publicly welcome our newest artists, is Chaewon Song! We’re still getting to know all of her preferences, but she’s already made a splash in the studio with her energetic style. Her pastel of flowers is the featured image for our upcoming show SPRINGS.

Today, on this last day of Women’s History Month for 2025, we couldn’t have a more fitting artist to (re)introduce you to as kick-off for our latest installment of “Introducing…” in which we publicly welcome our newest artists. Doris Washington is herself an enthusiast of history as well as music.

Baltimore Unity Hall invites organizations and employers to participate in an upcoming job and wellness fair designed to connect government employees impacted by recent job cuts and local residents seeking new employment opportunities! www.eventbrite.com/e/baltimore-...

Woody: "Make Studio's been open for 15 years. They are clean people to work for & they don't have nothing to say when you feel like you are doing something wrong. They will help you…They want to make sure you feel like it's right [for you]." Aw, shucks, TY DW! secure.givelively.org/event/make-s...?

Happy President’s Day! For your consideration, a piece and a series (in the comments) from artist Tony LaBate that reminds us that, in the USA, Presidents are not kings.

Hey, friends! Those we know from other places and who we’re meeting here. We are still getting warmed up, but now aim to share all our updates with you fine folks over here, too. If you DO already know us pretty well, you know we love to celebrate our birthdays! Join us! mailchi.mp/make-studio/...

There’s now less than two days left to visit our gallery for last-minute gifts. We’re open til 3:30 today and from 10:30-4 tomorrow. Our studio program and gallery will then be closed until Tuesday, January 7 for a break to rest and regroup for the New Year.

We don’t have a huge following here yet, but today is both #GivingTuesday and UN International Day of Persons with #Disability, so we hope folks might take a glance at our update and help us spread the word about our goals for our 15th year! mailchi.mp/make-studio/...
