Thanks for supporting RWS Studios & Artists!
You can help us serve over 80 artists, support our EMERGE artists in residency, and maintain and grow resources including printing presses, kilns, wheels, table saws, workspaces, ventilation, computers, spray booths, and so so much more. While not a non-profit, we have a very heavy social bottom line. We run on the thinest of margins while trying to keep costs affordable for artists working on their own small businesses and making their way on their creative paths in an urban setting. Every dollar helps us continue to serve our local artists.
Please consider supporting RWS in the way that works best for you. Funding through in kind donations or gifts of equipment or materials also help us elevtate loacl artists and our community. See below for some suggested plan options as well as in kind donation and wish list information.

Studio Wishlist & In Kind Opportunities
We have a wide and expanding array of equipment, space, and tools that facilitate the artists' work. Some of the items we currently have are old or broken. Others we don't have yet would help increase the artists' ability to work safely, efficiently, and successfully while maintaining an affordable workspace. If you have ideas, questions, or items you want to offer for our consideration, please contact us at info@rwsartstudios.com.
While we appreciate all donation offers, due to our multi-person use of equipment, tools, materials, etc, and our limited space and resources to repair or invest in a not-quite shop-ready item, we do need to be able to be selective, but will always try to suggest another local artist or group we feel might better utilize the offer.
Thank you for your valuable support!
