THE MUSIC & DIGITAL ARTS STUDIO @ CATALYST

Dedicated to Bob & Vivian Weede

The CATALYST Music & Digital Arts Studio was envisioned as a space to help our thriving community of musicians, designers and digital artists build stronger capacity for growth.  

This collaborative space is a prime location to record an album, learn how to use a design platform, or learn film editing in this space for digital makers and creators. 

​Classes, film screenings, sound mixing, performances and more will help this space come to life with sound and passion. 

Opening December 2019

TAKE A CLASS

We invite the community to attend weekly classes in the Music & Digital Arts Studio.  Classes will range from free classes and open learning sessions, to more advanced learning opportunities in mixing, sound recording, video production, as well as film screenings and lectures.  

A full list of classes will be made available in late Fall 2019.  

TEACH A CLASS

Local musicians, podcasters, recording professionals, digital arts specialists, bands, musicians, web and graphic designers and more will have access to rent the space for a community gathering, or instructional class.  Rental of the studio starts at only $55/hour - $100/hour, depending on use of equipment, A/V, sound mixing specialist and more.
