Patronage

Become a Studio Patron

Throughout history, patrons of the arts have provided encouragement and resources for artists to do their work, but often not to the direct benefit of amplifying the artists’ own voices and visions. In support of Make Studio’s artists, we want to turn the idea of patronage on its head and invite your help!
By joining our new membership society — Studio Patrons — you are contributing to a stable source of support that sustains all of the work of our studio. Primarily, you are ensuring that all of our artists, even those who lack the funds to consistently maintain their arts practices, can stay connected and continue to make, show, and sell compelling and timely art that enriches us all. Further, your support helps to make change in our local communities and the world:
“Quarantined in our homes and watching as the news uncovers instances of division and discrimination from around the country, we have been struck that Make Studio has been for ten years already the community that we all claim to want: inclusive, accessible, built through the daily interactions of folks diverse in resources, race, gender identification, sexuality, religion, and political affiliation. Our community of Make Studio artists, staff, volunteers, supporters, and art enthusiasts and collectors every day embodies, enacts, and practices this ideal.” - Jean McAllister Brooks, Co-President, Make Studio Board of Directors
