Seed Studio

Seed Studio serves over 300 families of diverse socio-economic backgrounds in the Four Corners region. We share scholarships with any individual in need to promote the accessibility, equity, and diversity of our programs. Our staff is composed six part-time employees and teachers.

Seed Studio offers something for everyone. In the fall, winter, and spring, our studio puts on Seedlings Playshops for kiddos ages 3 to 5 years old; an after-school Creative Kid's Club, Art Lab, and Art + Lit for children in grades K to 5; and Elevated Art programs and the Leadership in Learning and Education (LITE) for tweens and teens. For 9-R's professional development days, we host workshops so that working parents have a place for their children to learn and create while they are at the office. In the summertime, Seed Studio continues their LITE program and has camps, where our young artists explore an array of places from the rainforest to our garden at Soil Lab through a plethora of media from canvases to clay. In summer of 2024, we introduced the Artist's Pathway for Teens program, where participants interested in pursuing art as a career were able to explore the business, marketing, and creative sides of being a professional artist. Year-round, we offer a variety of adult workshops taught by local artists and open our doors once a month in the evening to host Parents' Night Out. 

We strive to create a setting for our students to learn the importance of mindfulness practices of slowing down and being present in everyday actions. We combine mindfulness practices with process-oriented art projects to act as a vehicle to help our students learn and appreciate everything has a natural unfolding. Together these processes teach our students problem solving skills, increase self-confidence and resilience, create a space of collaboration over competition, and have fun.
