Every Thursday

Every Thursday | 4 PM – 9 PM

Looking for a place to create?

Bring your sketchbook. Your laptop. Your crochet project. Your watercolor set. Your camera. Your journal. Your iPad. Your knitting. Your ideas.

Or just come to meet other creative people.

Every Thursday, The Observatory becomes an Open Studio—a relaxed, welcoming space where artists, makers, writers, photographers, musicians, designers, students, and hobbyists can work alongside one another, exchange ideas, and enjoy good company.

🎨 All creative mediums welcome 🪑 Open seating ☕ No cover • No reservations 🍸 Drinks & small bites available (but never expected)

Whether you’re finishing a masterpiece or doodling on a napkin, you’ll find a seat here.

Create. Connect. Stay awhile.

📍The Observatory 701 N Trade St. Thursdays • 4–9 PM
