Annual Gala
Annual Gala

Held in February or March of each year. Each guest takes home an original piece of artwork made by a local Studio 1219 Artists Network member.

In February of 2008, Studio 1219 Hosted: Laisser les bon Temps Rouler! Let The Good Times Roll! Lively music, food, beverages, live and silent auctions worked along with the feel of being on Bourbon Street, in New Orleans. Over $6500 was raised to support Studio 1219.

Renaissance Roam
Art Roam

Studio 1219 hosts a community Art Roam each year in May or June. This past year’s 3rd annual Renaissance: Roam the Globe featured trolley transportation from Studio 1219 to architecturally reclaimed vacant commercial buildings in downtown Port Huron which were decorated in themes of ports from around the world. 31 artists displayed artwork for sale, accompanied by live local music, food and beverages. This event enticed 1000 visitors to downtown Port Huron. Passport price was only $10. All proceeds benefit Studio 1219 general operations. Artists kept 100% of their art sales.
