2025 has been a radiant and bustling year for Studio Route 29. 

Our supported studio has been open to 38 artists for 208 days, We’ve been part of 9 external exhibitions including several Studio Artist’s solo debuts in NYC, opened 10 on site exhibitions, held six film screenings, been part of 2 fashion shows, released our first record on vinyl, published our third and fourth books, listened to our music on 5 radio stations, and maintained an exhibition program at our friendly neighborhood restaurant FiNNBAR, not to mention all the magical everyday things that go on at Studio Route 29 and are hard put into words.

Can you imagine all the art supplies we use? 

On average we spend a thousand dollars per month on stocking the studio with professional grade supplies. Enrolled artists have access to as much as they need to maintain their practice. For lots of artists, it's a first time encountering this diversity of high quality materials, and it's a critical part of how we support people at Studio Route 29. 

As the year ends we’ve got this brain wave: What if people out there who want to support artists with IDD were to sponsor a month (of art supplies)?

Maybe you choose your birth month, or gift your friend their birth month, or maybe you choose a month that suits your name like Bob-tober, or Jen-uary. Sponsors will be publicly celebrated (if they want) and will receive a gift from the studio during their month.

No matter your budget, you can help keep us in paper and paint. Follow the link to support Studio Route 29 artists.
