First Place at the Invitational!

I’m still waiting on the official pictures but for now, enjoy the blurry one. Arty Runn Art Studio took first place in the West Virginia University at Parkersburg (WVUP) Innovations Invitational. This experience has been life changing and I look forward to the next steps we are going to take to make this business a reality.

For those who aren’t familiar with Arty Runn Art Studio, let me share a few quotes from my presentation.

“Rainbow Runn Art Studio is a drop-in creative arts studio for all ages, offering a way to explore art in an accessible, welcoming, and judgment-free space. From day passes and workshops to private parties, Rainbow Runn provides hands-on access to a wide variety of art supplies and custom keepsakes without the mess, the cost, or the pressure of keeping them at home. This is a place where everyone — the casual crafter and the serious young artist — can explore their creativity and find a community where everyone belongs.”

I’ll create another post in the future discussing the details that I am planning out regarding pricing, offerings, and what the focuses might look like. For now, let me leave you with my Mission Statement.

Our mission is to inspire creativity, confidence, and curiosity in every person in a space where there are no mistakes. We strive to offer an accessible, supportive, welcoming environment for families and individuals to foster imagination and encourage self-expression.
