Projects
At Studio PAUSE we come up with community art projects inspired by all kinds of ideas! Anybody can join in because when you do, you get to experience something new and exciting. Check out our various projects below.
“You could see how the pieces of butcher paper had influenced each other: ghosts graffitiing the same seat on a train… Some of us are here, now; others aren’t. The past and present are constantly colliding to form something new.”
- Kara B, about her first artwork in 15 years, Connect, 2018, created for Baked Clay/Endless Sky: Celebrating 5 Years of Studio PAUSE
