Studio Arts Bus

 
 

Getting on the Road

In 2021, the Spier Family Foundation provided a generous grant to finish renovation of the bus and in 2022 our community came together to raise matching funds for operations of the bus. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this exciting project. The bus is now ready for programs and parties!

Envision a Studio Arts Bus

The Studio Arts Bus project was launched in 2016 at our Envision auction fundraiser. The idea was a studio-on-wheels that could be used both as a work space for classes, demonstrations, and hands-on experiences as well as a gallery space for exhibits, sales, and promotion of the studio arts. The Studio Arts Bus would reach parts of our community that are eager to learn more about the arts but have a limited ability to do so.

Wheels on the bus

The project sprang to life thanks to the generous donation of a retired school bus from the Boulder Valley School District and the purchase of 12 portable pottery wheels, which have already been in use for partner programs and community events.
