What is Studio 345?
Founded eight years ago by the Arts and Science Council, Studio 345 was started to promote youth arts education. The program moved to be part of Arts+’s program offerings for the 2020-2021 year.
Through Studio 345, Arts+ carries out its mission to make high-quality arts education accessible to all Charlotteans.
Providing unique experiences for high school students in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, Studio 345 fosters a sense of belonging and interconnectedness and provides an avenue for students to build social capital. Taught and mentored by professional working artists who are part of the Charlotte artist community, students gain invaluable experiences enabling them to become creative risk-takers and craftsmen while growing emotionally, intellectually, and artistically.
