Studio for Arts + Works (SAW) was designed as a collaborative space for creative professionals and professional creatives. It was remodeled from a auto mechanic shop into artist studios and minimalist, industrial-style offices on a modest budget using non-toxic, salvaged and recycled materials wherever possible. The tenant mix at SAW (potters, painters, jewelers, sculptors, service professionals) showcases our commitment to enhancing the vitality of our community through our work. Though SAW doesn’t have regular hours (as the tenants are working artists and keep their own day-to-day schedules) the SAW gallery space is open to the public upon request and hosts local art events. SAW was Co-founded by Alleghany, in 2011 and became the sole owner and expanded to the current location, tripling the size and scope of the project.
