 Thank you for your 10 years of creative community arts participation & support! ~ Angela Houk, The Studio Director |
| After 10 years of partnership between New Joy Arts and Oak Hills Church, The Studio has closed it’s doors. We had a wonderful time offering classes, workshops and creative opportunities to our community! Over the years we have had hundreds of individuals & families join us to cultivate their creative capacities in addition to partnering with dozens of local community organizations. Check out our list below! Did you attend a Family Flourish event, an Art Immersion Week workshop, an introductory art class or one of the monthly Creative Spiritual Practice sessions or Open Studio? If you would like to share, we would love to hear your stories! You can send a note through email or share a story on our Facebook page here.

 The reach of our partnership: the green hub of The Studio & Folsom area programs PLUS the red hub of New Joy Arts & regional area programs |
| Why & what is next?The Studio was established to serve as a hub of creativity by offering in person arts opportunities for the Folsom area & the greater Sacramento region. In addition to being a place to gather, it also served as the home base for New Joy Arts, the community nonprofit run by Angela Houk. Having the dual role of Studio Director & Non-profit Director allowed her to serve both aims beautifully. Over the past several years, engagement through The Studio began to decrease while outreach programs to the community grew. In 2020, when Angela’s family moved to Roseville, it unknowingly helped position New Joy Arts to reach our area more broadly. You can see that on the map above. With that shift, managing The Studio space & programs in addition to running New Joy Arts partnerships & programs became more challenging to coordinate. The time consumed in transportation alone became a burden. In an effort to consolidate Angela’s time, resources and offerings she decided close The Studio space to create an entirely mobile community arts organizationbased out of her home. You can read more about that on her website here. |
 If you value the creativity that New Joy Arts has cultivated through The Studio, will you consider giving a gift to help build a space to keep it going? |
