! IMPORTANT NOTE!

We will be reopening the CPCA Printshop and Digital Lab Wednesday, July 29th!

Our goal is to provide artists in Central Ohio with the resources to begin or continue their artistic practices.

Artists have the opportunity to work on professionally maintained equipment with knowledgeable volunteers available to answer questions. If you need a little guidance in the studio with a technique, tool, or equipment, visit the Learn page to schedule a customized Individual Tutorial.

Experienced artists may work in the studio by first becoming a Member. Individual Members can access the studio during Open Access Hours (Wednesday - Sunday, 10am-6pm) or make equipment reservations by clicking the button below. For now, reservations are not required and priority will be given to those with reservations, then on a first come, first served basis. If you are looking for 24/7 access to the studio, check out our Full Access Membership!

If you are not a CPCA Member but would like to purchase a daily studio pass to access the studio for one or more days, please go ahead and reserve the equipment you would like to use for the day you plan to work and we will collect payment for your pass when you arrive.

No payment is required to reserve studio equipment. Your reservation simply helps us manage studio traffic and work around classes and other projects.

Questions about scheduling or how to work in the studios? Looking for recommendations on low-traffic, low-contact visiting hours? Email us at info@columbusprintedarts.org.
