CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF studioELL — AND BUILDING TOWARD 10 MORE

2025 marks a decade of artist-led, community-centered, radically accessible education at studioELL. Over 10 years, we’ve supported 300+ artists, launched 45+ programs, and awarded $20,000+ in scholarships — all without corporate funding.

Now we’re raising $10,000 over the summer to help us continue.
Your support sustains our @HOME residencies, grows our scholarship program and keeps our programs open to all — regardless of financial means.

Please donate today to help us build the next 10 years of artist-run, equitable education.
Rewards available at various gift levels — including limited edition prints, public acknowledgments and more.

INTRODUCING: ANY-TIME COURSES

ANY-TIME COURSES run throughout the year and give you the flexibility to design your own learning experience. The sky is the limit with ANY-TIME COURSES — Study what you want, when you want, how often you want.

STATEMENT ON DEIJ

studioELL rejects all forms of hate. We adamantly oppose all executive orders against DEIJ and any efforts to reduce or erase citizenship, personhood or dignity — especially for those who need the most protection. We remain committed to the difficult work of supporting all marginalized folx and those without a voice, ensuring inclusive and collaborative futures where care, justice and collective well-being are prioritized.

We stand with all community members — regardless of ethnicity, citizenship status, gender, orientation, religion, political affiliation, ability, class or background — and we will continue to be a force against genocide, fascism, ignorance and hate.

To this effect, we have formed an artist coalition for artists, creatives and educators across the US to gather, build solidarity and discuss the pressing issues affecting our communities. We believe that change must come from the ground up — and that building sustainable relationships is the foundation of this work.

If you are interested in connecting with our artist coalition, please email us.

SOLIDARITY IN ACTION

We at studioELL write this as colleagues, friends and as individuals who care deeply about the future we all share. Our country stands at a perilous juncture with an intensifying rightward shift and looming threats from authoritarianism. This moment demands grassroots engagement and a reawakening of civic action. We cannot rely on political parties that prioritize corporate contributions, media consulting and incremental gains to protect us; these strategies have repeatedly failed to address the deepening crises that affect us all. Real change starts from the ground up, driven by those who see firsthand the impact of inaction on our communities
