The Studios by Pagosa Community Initiative keeps it simple for local creatives. We provide a cost-effective co-working space and access to equipment in an area where you can hang out with other creatives and create a community. 

We are providing alternatives to the leases and rentals of studios necessary to get creative work done. We also nurture the inner creative through a wide variety of educational opportunities. Offerings include workshops, critiques, creative gatherings and more.
