The Studio

Hands-on creative fun for artists of all ages

A classroom labeled

Museums aren’t just places to look at art—you can come make some of your own!

Equipped with art supplies, inspiring works from the Crystal Bridges permanent collection, and directions for artmaking activities, the Studio is a space for creatives of all ages to have hands-on fun.

All guests are welcome to enjoy the space during museum hours, make use of the artmaking supplies for one of the provided activities, or create something of your very own! Sketching and watercolor kits are available for use outdoors on the grounds—all we ask is that they make their way back to the Studio before you leave.
