AnySquared Studio Day

Looking for a collaborative environment or somewhere to work on projects with the kids? Every week at the AnySquared’s Studio Day at their space on Milwaukee Ave, artists and families gather to work on a variety of projects in the unique studio space. Starting two years ago after amassing a collection of various supplies, they started to invite people over to work and it turned into a weekly open studio in which anyone could come. A variety of supplies are available for use, including drawing supplies, collage materials, easels, paint, a sewing machine, etc. The space overlooks Milwaukee Ave and has multiple tables and desks to work at. There is plenty of room for working on screenprinting, drawing, painting, sewing, laptop work, and much more. You can bring your own project and supplies to work on or make something on the spot with what is provided. AnySquared provides a relaxed, yet productive environment where people of all ages can get brainstorming and production done!

AnySquared says: “While many of us are visual artists, all art forms encouraged and welcome! Bring supplies… share supplies… some supplies available and provided… bring a project… bring ideas… brainstorm… Some days are a couple people, some days a crowd.”

AnySquared is an artists’ collaborative that organizes events, exhibitions, and projects. Email projects@anysquared.com for information or visit www.anysquared.com.

Open studio is every Wednesday from 3-8 PM at at AnyWhere Space located at 2328 N. Milwaukee, 2nd floor.  Go check it out!
