Our Story
The ARTery responds to a critical need in the Grand Valley’s creative landscape. Many local artists and makers face barriers to affordable studio space, access to professional equipment, and opportunities for collaboration.
Since 2022, community surveys and stakeholder conversations have consistently shown strong demand for a dedicated, inclusive space where creatives can gather, work, learn, and grow. The ARTery is designed to meet that need—strengthening the region’s creative infrastructure and supporting a more connected, vibrant arts community.
