REACH Studio Art Center

Reach Studio Art Center is a nonprofit neighborhood art activitiy center located just south of downtown Lansing in "REO Town" - an area of Lansing undergoing revitalization. Reach is surrounded by several diverse, lower to middle class neighborhoods with a high population of children. Reach's mission is to provide creative visual art experiences to the children, youth and adults especially from the surrounding area, with the premise that many lower income residents have limited or no access to extra curricular arts activities. Programming at Reach includes a free (3x weekly) after school art activity drop-in called "Creative Connections" (CC) October through May, registration/fee-based art classes, workshops and open studios, summer day camps and involvement in special grant funded community art projects.
