Celebrating 10 Years of studioELL

2025 marks the 10th anniversary of studioELL — a decade of artist-led, radical, community-centered accessible education.

studioELL is an artist-run hybrid learning space with a global reach. Since 2015, we have supported over 300 artists through 45+ courses, workshops and programs, awarded more than $20,000 in scholarship funding and partnered with dozens of artists, educators and organizations across the world. Our approach blends higher and continuing education models to center care, critique and collaboration.

We believe arts education should be affordable, experimental and grounded in equity — and we know this work is only possible through collective support.


Why We’re Fundraising

As part of our 10-year anniversary, we’re raising $10,000 to support two key initiatives that will ensure studioELL continues to grow and remain accessible:

→ $2,500 to support our @HOME Residency Program, offering artists time, space and support to deepen their practice
→ $7,500 to rebuild and expand our Course Scholarship Program so more artists can participate regardless of financial means

Your support helps sustain our programming, grow our scholarship fund and keep us free from corporate influence — so we can stay true to our values.


What Your Donation Supports

Your contribution directly supports:
– Scholarships for artists
– Paid opportunities for teaching artists and guest critics
– Development of new courses and residencies
– A sustainable future for artist-run education

This is about more than a fundraiser. It’s about continuing to build an artist-centered alternative to traditional inaccessible art education.


How You Can Help

→ Make a donation at any level or in any amount — every contribution helps
→ Select a reward — we’ve added perks including limited edition prints, public acknowledgments and more
→ Share the campaign — spread the word to your friends, collaborators and networks. Because we are not on social media, we rely on word-of-mouth and community networks to get the word out.
