New Room Studios is a home for artists, made by artists
Every artist deserves room to create and thrive. We open doors by building the structures and deep relationships needed to sustain creative practices for artists and the communities who create alongside them in Oregon, without barriers.
what we do
New Room Studios partners with independent artists and cultural workers, offering the mentorship, fiscal sponsorship, and welcoming community that help sustain a creative life.
who we are
We are working artists and cultural workers who partner with the communities that we belong to. We believe in collective power to transform ourselves and each other.
what our community says
about the name
“In a recurring dream, I discover a new room in my house. I open the door, and it’s always different. Sometimes I see floor-to-ceiling windows that have been shattered by the reaching limbs of trees, and sometimes the windows are on fire, but the room is always spacious and it’s now a part of me, and whenever I have this dream, I feel I’m about to find a new way to see.” —Ben Moorad, Director of New Room Studios
For artists of all disciplines, the studio is the room for generative practice and play.
We create new room for artists and audiences.
