Mission Vision

Studio 84 will provide fully accessible opportunities in the arts to enrich peoples lives

by focusing on the strengths and abilities of the individual,

by encouraging the creative voice with self directed activities,

thus, inspiring self-worth, pride, confidence and acceptance.

Philosophy and Approach

Our philosophy is to provide open exploration of any medium chosen
by the student with individualized guidance.

     By looking closely at each student's abilities and skill level, individual
     instruction is provided. Whatever challenges they may bring with them
     a creative solution will be sought to nurture their inner creative needs
     and provide every opportunity for success. Students are challenged and
     encouraged to grow at their own pace.
