Where Creativity Runs Wild
Rainbow Runn Art Studio is a community art space currently seeking funding to bring a vision to life.
Come learn about this Art Studio and follow our journey to gain funding, find a location, and really create something great!
We are currently in the running for a grant to open this shop. We are also looking for other sources of funding to make this dream a reality. If you know of anyone interested in investing in such a place, please contact me and let’s talk!
We have currently raised $7,650 of $20,000 needed to open!
What is Rainbow Runn Art Studio?
We are a hands-on creative arts studio for all ages, offering a welcoming space to explore art free from pressure and judgement. Rainbow Runn provides unlimited imaginative play, access to diverse art supplies, workshops, party rooms, and custom keepsakes – all through flexible pass options.
This is a place where everyone, the casual crafter and the serious young artist, can explore their creativity without needing to buy every supply or worry about making a mess at home.
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.

This studio is designed to meet several needs from our community. We will be:
- An all-ages creative studio – Not only a place for children.
- A place with imaginative, screen-free time
- Stocked with a full inventory. We won’t just be pencils and crayons. We intend to provide craft supplies such as paints, markers, paper crafts, canvases, and so much more.
- Stress reducing since clean-up is on us
- An inclusive, welcoming, community-building space for the neuro-divergent, disabled, elderly, and the LGBTQIA+ community.
Instead of being a studio that only offers classes, we will focus on day passes so you can drop in when the mood strikes! (Don’t worry, there will be classes too!)
There will be two pass levels, a beginner and master level each offering different items you can use.
We are researching non-profit status so we can work with schools and other groups as well as offering price discounts.
There will be a party room for events and art supplies for sale.
We will offer printing services to preserve the art your little one makes on a shirt or other item.
