We are growing a healthy arts community and recognize the importance of our local artists. Breck Create’s Open Door Program provides affordable space for local artists to work and thrive. In return, we ask that artists engage the community through open studio hours and workshops. Artists are selected based on the excellence of their work and public participation abilities. The synergy of local, regional and national artists, who are instructing workshops in a variety of mediums, provides a catalyst for creative minds to connect and share their craft.

The Arts District campus features three studio spaces to rent to local artists: one in the Randall Barn and two on the lower level of the Ceramics Studio. 

Rental Options:

  1. Full Monthly Rent at $300 per month and participation in 6 on campus public engagements per year including:

    • Winter + Fall Campus Crawls
