meet our artist collective

The OGS Artist Collective is an open-ended group of studiomates coming together under one roof to grow their art—in community as well as in solitude. They make art with words, music, thread, fabric, glue, and paint. They are writers, painters, and experimental artists. At OGS making art together is an act of connection, healing, and belonging.

“We all do better, when we all do better”
