THE STUDIO DOOR

A contemporary art gallery and creative hub connecting artists, exhibitions and community.

Open to the public Tuesday - Saturday 11 AM - 6 PM

Exterior view of an art gallery named 'The Studio Door' with glass windows displaying color swatches and art supplies, set against a large rainbow pride flag background, with the word 'PROUD+' in the bottom right corner.

This is a place where art is made, not just shown.

Since 2014, The Studio Door has built a reputation for recurring exhibitions that artists and audiences return to year after year. Flagship programs such as The Crow Show and PROUD+ have become annual traditions, bringing together diverse artists, collectors, and the community.

These recurring exhibitions are part of a year-round program that includes artist spotlight presentations, community-based projects, and business-to-business collaborations supported by 17 on-site artist studios and art-centered experiences that extend beyond the gallery walls.

The Studio Door presents LIKHANG SINING: Contemporary Voices, Timeless Roots, bringing together 10 local Filipino artists to celebrate the creative spirit of the Filipino community.

LIKHANG SINING means “creation of art.” The exhibition brings contemporary perspectives to Filipino heritage through works ranging from painting to ceramics along with mixed media. At its heart are the stories that connect where the artists come from with who they are becoming.
