The doors are closer to opening! 🚪

We want to keep our community updated on our renovations, and this is a BIG one. In addition to our recent upgrades of ADA-compliant ramps and railings at both entrances, Richard Hunt Studio Center now has beautiful new doors thanks to Pearson Construction, Midwest Glass, and TERA Architects.

Each improvement brings us one step closer to opening our doors to the community!

Coming soon…

We had a great time today at the 5th annual 4th Ward Resource Fair handing out take-home art activities with kids donated by Michael’s Benton Harbor. Check out these coloring pages our young artist did of Richard Hunt’s Book Bird (which is on display at Obama Foundation library).

Thank you to Ethel Clark Griffin and all the vendors for putting on this event for the community. It was great for us to talk about Hunt Studio and the awesome programs to come like Fashion as Sculpture (free for high school students-link in bio).
