2600 Hibernia at Routh Street
About Studio 2600
Studio 2600 was conceived to stimulate the creative process for both artists and art patrons, offering a warm, inviting, comfortable atmosphere to gather, learn about and share in an appreciation of art in all forms.
Both an artistic center and gallery, Studio 2600 is a non-traditional blend of working studio and boutique showcasing unique artworks by emerging and established artists and craftmen. The studio presents monthly themed exhibitions featuring primarily local talent; demonstrations, and art workshops by artists for artists and the local community; guest speakers; and general meeting space for use by organizations, designers, decorators and artists to convene with their clients in an aesthetic, neutral location.
Distinguished by its organic synergy between artist and community,
Studio 2600 allows patrons to experience the creation of artwork, understand
the origins and story behind each piece, and view works not typically
seen in traditional galleries.
THE STAFF:
“Studio 2600 is an opportunity for creative souls, artist and art lover, to find a place to share the spirit and story behind every piece.”
