The Studio in Windsor Heights

06/10/2024

Eight years ago, we opened our doors and welcomed dozens of photographers, yogis, nonprofits, podcasters, and other small businesses to call this space home. During this time, we navigated a global pandemic, I shifted the focus of my photography business, celebrated the birth of my son, and was elected to city council.
Over the past year, our beautiful space has been underutilized, preventing another business from thriving in this prime real estate in our beloved city. As we close our doors at the end of July, it feels fitting that The Studio in Windsor Heights will continue our mission: making space for another small business to grow.
Thank you for all the love and support over the past eight years.

Hi all! I’m thrilled to share the newest addition to The Studio! We’ve added a gorgeous piece from local artist Ciara Ladroma to our permanent collection! You may recognize Ciara from her organization, Inner Circle Co. who we love to host for events and pop ups.

I was instantly interested in this piece; the swirls of blue and green reminded me of the ocean. If there is one way to sum up how running a business has felt lately, it’s like trying to control the tides.

Ciara generously sold this piece and others to benefit Sacred Health, a business not unlike The Studio. Sacred Health is home to health and wellness professionals, practitioners, and has a space to host events. Their business launched early 2020 and... well you can guess the obstacles they’ve had to overcome through Covid. The first year of business is hard enough, let alone when a pandemic knocks your legs out from under you.

How can you help our small business community?
➡️ Go like and follow Sacred Health - tell your friends, host an event, offer your support.
➡️ Support local artists like Ciara Ladroma who are using their skills to raise money for causes like Sacred Health, Black Lives Matter, and the ACLU.

Thank you ❤️
