Future Programming

• Classes/Workshops
  We plan to offer a variety of 1-2 hour classes to be held throughout the week. Classes will range in topics, level, and age. Twice a month, on Saturdays, we will host 4-hour long workshops. These workshops will provide more in-depth instruction on a variety of topics, techniques, and disciplines. All materials for the classes and workshops will be provided.
• Discounted Rental Space
  To promote the positive professional well-being of the artistic community, we plan to provide a discounted rental space program. This program will allow artists, musicians, performers, etc to rent out artistic space for a low price. This program will include access to materials, instruments, storage, etc. These work areas will be free to members and are offered at a discounted rate to the general public.
• Escape Gallery
  The Escape Gallery will provide a professional space for artists to display their work. All of the art exhibited at the Escape Gallery will be created by those artists we serve. We plan to host 4 themed juried exhibitions, 1 student exhibition and 1 members exhibition. The gallery will be open to the general public during regular business hours.
• Escape Sessions
  These weekly meetings of free-expression offer a creative environment for the entire community. Think of it as an open-mic night for all artistic disciplines. This melting pot of creativity is held every Wednesday evening from 6-9 p.m. Escape sessions will be free and open to the public. We plan to provide a wide assortment of artistic supplies and those who attend are welcome to bring things with them. As the name implies, it is a chance to Escape the stress of the week and put forth your creativity.
• Mental Health Referral Program
  The Escape Community Art s primary mission is quality mental health for the artistic community. In addition to providing a positive creative environment and workspace for the artist, as well as supportive network of fellow artists, we also plan to work closely with many licensed mental health professionals. Our referral program will provide low-cost services to those suffering from a variety of mental health conditions.
• Alliance
  Alliance will aim at providing a safe and supportive environment for conversation and creativity between members of the LGBT and the straight community. Alliance will meet twice a month in an open forum, group setting to discuss the issues, encourage conversation and share creatively.
