WE ARE ASTRO CLUB ARTIST FACILITY
Astro Club introduces a refined studio format, evolving from its original counterpart, Astro Studio. This creative space is the vision of artist and arts entrepreneur, Drew Young, and arts advocate, Steff Love, together known as Young Love Studio Inc.
Following years of collaborating and working with artists, Young used his experience to establish Astro Studios. It became a creative space designed for optimal workflow and an environment where Young’s peers could access like-minded professional artists.
Since its inception, over 40 artists have joined Astro, helping to define a full spectrum of needs, like varying levels of privacy, social engagement, and equipment necessary for success in visual arts.
Astro Studios operates as a collective, providing talent for prominent festivals, public art installations, and commercial and fine art projects. The bond and support of some of the best creative minds in one space creates a pressure cooker elevating each other to greater heights in a demanding city.
At Astro Club, we continue this legacy, offering an environment where artists can grow, collaborate, and achieve their fullest potential. Join us to access the right resources and minds to elevate your creative process.
