This is a welcoming space and i look forward to taking classes here again. I took a crochet class with Maddy and had a great time and learned how to at least get started with the bascs. I hope there will be more crochet classes in addition to other classes. I really like coming here.

Most of the time as life treks along, we all will find that we become The Other in various environments. The more independent of thought, the more that will be encountered. At Studio Two Three, a community day for all was planned and provided by the noble efforts of good people in action. A memorial for a unique environmental hero was also made with many hands. I've never been as sad as the times in life when I arrived too late to prevent a crafted situation from taking a life or the times that one mistake of decision or choice paved the way to lose a life. If only I knew, could have been present or was fast enough to arrive, everyone would have been okay and moving toward a new day. 🕯️ Actions with intent or awareness of harm can be found in any profession, but not expected in Guardians of The People, salaried by The People for their safety & welfare. The memorial for environmental hero who protected a rare forest park that once protected against flooding in Atlanta as well as provided good health for all in its 300 acres, was and is most deserving. This odd hero in the picture was given a death sentence by the greed soaked people with vested interest in clearing 300 acres of irreplaceable forest park as our country can no longer fake that tree removal everywhere hasn't disrupted weather patterns, rain deposition & amount, water & air quality, aquifer & stream/creek viability/thriveability, wildlife & food provisions, pollinators & U.S. held family farms needing groundwater to survive & reduce tinder ripe fire risk in brittle vegetation. Too late never had to be.

I share a studio at Studio Two Three and sew and print on fabric there, plus I teach some classes. I absolutely love this place for its welcoming vibe and the fact that I can access the studio 24/7 to make art. I encourage everyone to check it out! There is a small shop with lots of prints and Richmond swag.... great gifts.

This facility just buzzes with excitement from handmade book shows to craft shows to figure drawing and a beautiful screen printing facility. If you are interested in art check this place out. You can also rent studio space here.

I always find something of interest at this place. Lots of RVA items, unusual pottery and anything that would make a great gift, or display for our talented artisans in the area.

I love Studio Two Three! I've been teaching macrame and weaving workshops here for a year and a half and participated in many of their events. I'm so grateful to work for an organization that exemplifies excellence, equality, and professionalism through the arts so well. I'm always inspired every time I walk through the doors!

This indie shop is a great spot for local merch honoring the RVA culture and supporting all types of artists. They have a good collection of shirts, bananas, housewares, zines, and other fun finds.
The staff are very friendly and they were even able to make an added print run of a shirt I had my on that was out of size.
They host events that support the community as well. Take some time to pop by and say hi to the crew.

What a haven for artists!
I'd been to the smaller Scott's Addition location, but just had a chance to check out the Manchester location where they've been for about a year. They are doing some amazing programming here. What a beautiful space to create, and what an amazing addition to the immediate neighborhood.

I attended a class here and really enjoyed it. Our instructor Maddy was absolutely awesome and I enjoyed meeting the people in my class and spent a really fun afternoon learning and chatting with new friends. The classes are varied, well done, and reasonably priced and well worth the money. It's a great place to meet new, interesting like minded people and have a sense of community. In other words, a welcoming space. Also--they do different events there. Today they had a flea market which was fun.

Studio Two Three is a hidden gem for artists and art enthusiasts here in Richmond. Part gallery and event space and part art studio, Two Three is a coworking space that is available to rent for the community. Local artists can rent a portion of the studio as their own work space or to exhibit their work. They offer classes in for learners of all levels in printmaking, etching, sewing and textiles, photo and film, book and paper arts, business for artists, and more. There is also a traveling printmaking van that has been a big hit at events like Yelp Elite and TEDxRVA.
I had a great time perusing their art and book sale this past weekend, and will certainly be back for more events and maybe some classes in the future.

Nice venue to hold events. Roomy, a lot of versatility, nice bathrooms, convenient location, and clean. Parking was kinda iffy but not terrible and it's free parking, is just street parking, so you might have to park a little far and walk but no complaints here. That's a minor issue in my opinion.

Attended the Yelper's event and had a great time. The atmosphere was grand. Had difficulty with keeping the power running as there was much happening pulling on the electricity. Overall, it was a nice space for an event!

It's really easy to stop watching TV and go make art when there's an amazing studio full of fun people waiting for you. Studio Two Three is like a chocolate-covered strawberry: a delicious party on the outside, with something really good for you at its heart. (It's a 501(c)3 that does outreach projects, btw.)
Studio rental is CHEAP. $90/month for a 6-month term - with free reign over all the presses, etching equipment and chemicals, exposure unit, blotters, brayers, drying racks... so much stuff. No way would you find studio space that cheap with NOTHING in it, much less tons of printmaking equipment. It's also perfect for, say, band members, because you can rent studio time for $15/hour without being a monthly renter if you just need to make a run of t-shirts or something.
They've got a sweet little gallery in the back too, where they have shows (including an annual renters/members show!) and drawing classes.
Great resource for Richmond artists.

I attended Art for the Soul 3 weeks ago. When I purchased my ticket I didn't know what to expect. I really enjoyed seeing local artists and their wares. Everyone (vendors, staff & patrons) were friendly with a welcoming spirit. I look forward to attending another event here.
