REACH Studio Art Center

Our Story

Founded in November 2003 by local textile artist Alice Brinkman, REACH Studio Art Center began as a small storefront in REO Town, Lansing. With a vision to create a community space for accessible out-of-school art-making experiences, REACH has grown significantly since receiving its 501(c)(3) status in February 2004. Over the years, it has served thousands of community members, providing free and affordable arts programs for both children and adults. In 2013, the REACH board approved the purchase of five adjacent storefronts, leading to a transformative redevelopment project that expanded the original 400-square-foot studio into a 10,000-square-foot facility, complete with seven studios, a gallery, and a welcoming courtyard.

Impact

Each year, over 1,700 youth and adults benefit from 1,200 hours of out-of-school arts instruction and engagement through REACH programs.
