Studio B

Using art to make a difference in people’s lives.

WHAT WE DO

Studio B has the mission of using art and story to create spaces where everyone is seen, heard, and valued, cultivating individual self-esteem and building stronger communities. We seek to empower marginalized and isolated populations through art experiences, exhibitions, and community programs that address pressing social issues while also highlighting our shared humanity.

CURRENT PROJECTS

Our Inaugural 2023-2024 season features My Story, Your Story, Our Story, a project taking aim at the crisis of youth isolation and alienation in rural Maine, and Together, a project about building community cohesion in a diverse town. Each project is in its early development phase; details coming soon.
