Room 13 Studios Expand in America with Help of the Toolkit

Kelly — Thu, 10 May 2012 20:23:51 +0000

For several months, Kelly (in charge of Light Bringers special projects) worked with Paddy (Light Bringer’s manager) to develop a Room 13 “Toolkit.” It’s a comprehensive document that has everything you could ever want and need to know about Room 13. The goal of the Toolkit is to act as a reference guide for those seeking to start their own Room 13 creative studio. We had 13 contacts eagerly waiting for the Toolkit to be completed. It is exciting to see the program grow so rapidly throughout North America!

Room 13 Studios Thrive at Local Schools

Room 13 creative studios are bustling with young artists at John Muir High School in Pasadena, Eliot Middle School in Altadena and Foshay Learning Center in South Los Angeles. The initiative is part of an international network of 93 student-run studios begun in 1994 in Coal, Scotland. Over the past several years, Light Bringer Project launched these first studios in America in our own community. Each Room 13 operates in its own independent space located on the school campus, and utilizes an Artist-in-Residence who supports the students’ creative expression, technical know-how and personal and creative growth. Each studio creates a business model to help sustain the studio practice by providing for some of the arts and non-arts materials, special projects and activities.
