The Hui’s Open Studios Program provides students and community artists the opportunity to work independently with access to professional artist studios, equipment, and tools. The tools and equipment provided vary in each studio. In general, students should plan to bring materials and personal tools needed to complete projects. The studio tools and equipment are shared items and may or may not be available at any given time. Some materials are available for sale in each studio. Please inquire with the technician on duty should you wish to purchase any items. Hui studio tools & equipment should never leave the studio. No retail sales are permitted by students/studio users from the studios.
