Hey, we're really glad you'd like to
get to know us a bit better. Second Home Studio + Cafe are a not for profit organisation focusing on making art more accessible. We are a community interest company which means we exist for the sole benefit of our community, not for our directors or shareholders.
So, what does it mean
to make art more accessible?
Well basically, what we mean is that income, skill level, qualifications, age, gender or disabilities shouldn't be barriers in creativity. So we make our classes as affordable as possible (dependant on materials and paying our tutors fairly of course), and by providing free-to-use art materials on site. If you're interested in our classes, take a look here.
We're committed to expanding + empowering our local creative community.
If you're not currently a practising creative in Aberdeen - we want you to be! Come explore your creativity with us. We promise a non judgemental atmosphere with friendly staff + tutors.
Already a part of the creativity community in Aberdeen - let's be friends! We always have opportunities to teach, exhibit, collaborate, volunteer, network and connect with us and others in the community.
So is it working?
Heck yeah! In just 3 years we have made
£14,275.26
