Art Up Studios
94 Ellis Street V2A 4L3 Penticton, BC, Canada

And, there's more! Studio of our Featured Artist this show: Eileen Hopkins. This is a cozy space filled with enthusiasm as Eileen harnesses some of the oozing creativity surrounding her at Art Up Studios and evolves her painting one stroke at a time. Much of Eileen’s work is on the Feature wall in our gallery but you can see, she has reserves in her individual space and some new ones on the go. Featuring Art by Eileen: Abstracted realism in landscapes and life. To make a personal appointment for Eileen: text or phone 250-535-0283.

Art Up Studios is a community of artists creating together. So many of our visitors love to get behind the scenes when they pop in and can visit the artists and their individual studio. Today YOU get to peak into the studio space of one of our resident artists: Bonnie Thatcher. Like Bonnie, all of us at Art Up Studios work as a creative group but there are a limited number of individual studio spaces to provide the "zone" that incubates that creativity in very individual way...s. We would be happy to show you around if you are thinking about expanding beyond your guest bedroom or den. We keep a wait list of interested artists as our community evolves and grows. Please contact us if you are interested in being added to the wait list or are just curious. We do have room for a few more Casual Members immediately! Meanwhile, here is a short pictorial of Bonnie's space. It is so reflective of her as an artist and the lovely, quirky, talented artist she is. See more

Our pottery selection is eclectic and beautiful. Although you can get a peak through the window any day of the week, you will want to come in to view our potters' work in person. We are pleased to continue to showcase Barry Salaberry's work along with our resident artist/ potter, Derrie Selles. No surprise that at Art Up Studios we encourage creativity in all mediums - we teach; we display, and, most importantly we create in our large studio space which includes a pottery workspace in addition to the open workshop area and individual studios. Please drop in on the weekends from 10 am to 2 pm or contact us for an appointment that fits your schedule.

I zoomed through the gallery today and captured some up-close-and-personal shots of us! Click through and Enjoy! Happy to answer any questions you might have about the art work and creators!

How fantastic to run into our latest artist to join Art Up Studios - Arlana Tanner-Sibelle - at work in our common creative space. Arlana recently became a Casual Member of our community and is finally able to spread out and get messy while creating her acrylic pourings! Her work is brightening up a corner of our front gallery over the next few months. If you have questions about our Casual Membership or how our studio embraces community and creativity you can reach us through a private message., phone or email as shown in our contact information.

Some pieces ready for bisque firing from the students in the pottery class at Art Up Studios Pottery Maker space.
