| Studio Anatomy Campaign, Benefit 8/19 Studio Anatomy has been an incredible supporter of regional artists, musicians, opportunities and the overall arts and music scene from its home in Downtown Traverse City. In addition to its recording studio and Eugene’s Records, Studio Anatomy has hosted 14 artist studios, a performing venue, exhibitions and a gathering space for ten years, as well as supporting the Network’s New Leaders’ monthly Artist Chillouts & Emerging Artists exhibitions. Unfortunately, the building housing Studio Anatomy has been sold and must be vacated by Labor Day. A campaign is underway to “Save the Studio” as it strives to relocate and transform a vacant mall store into artist studios, performance venue, exhibition areas and recording studio that supports the local art community. Upcoming opportunities to support: |
