Stay Studio

We had the honor of participating in Los Angeles County’s Employee Wellness Through the Arts Week, welcoming over 100 County employees into our space for an afternoon of creativity, connection, and community.

Throughout the day, employees from departments across the County spent time unwinding together through our free drop-in button-making workshop using mixed media materials, pressed flowers, collage elements, and more. It was incredible to see coworkers stepping away from their usual routines to slow down, create, listen to music, explore our exhibition, and simply enjoy being together.

Our Executive Director, Gabriel Enamorado, also welcomed guests with a presentation sharing the history, growth, and evolving vision of Stay Arts and Stay Studio.

Thank you to the Los Angeles County Department of Arts & Culture and the Los Angeles County Department of Human Resources for including us in this meaningful countywide initiative and helping create space for wellness through creativity and the arts.

Yesterday we had the opportunity to welcome medical students and staff from Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine to Stay Studio for a special guided painting workshop centered around art, community, and healing.

During the visit, we shared the story behind Stay Arts, spoke about the role creative spaces can play in emotional expression and connection, and guided the group through a collaborative painting experience at the studio.

Thank you to the KPSOM team and students for spending the afternoon with us and engaging so thoughtfully in the conversation and workshop. We’re grateful to continue building connections between the arts, wellness, and community.
