CEO Corner
April Message from CEO Rebecca Esquibel
Dear Neighbors,
As we move forward into this new month, I wanted to take a moment to share some updates and reflections in our latest Newsletter.
We are really excited about the progress being made at our Outlets location. Our crew of employees, volunteers, and Board members have transformed this space already and have some specific goals in mind to make it a truly enchanting and eclectic location.
Last month's Art Walk was exciting and was a good start to our effort to revive a STUDIO 395 tradition. Please plan to be by this Third Saturday, April 18th, from 4 - 8 pm . There will, once again, be art and crafts vendors, musical performances, karaoke, and free art activities.
Now being deep into the spring we have started to establish operations here with wonderful classes and new tenants who want to help us build an exciting venue for this community.
We also really appreciate the local artists who have stepped up and offered to take on a schedule of classes that represent what STUDIO 395 really is.
At this point we have a children's art offering happening every Saturday with Mommy and Me Art Academy, and Mosaics with Tom on Fridays.
Looking ahead, our focus for the upcoming months will be on growing our class offerings. Please refer any locals who might have considered holding some type of art instruction or might be looking for a regular vending event for their own work.
In the next few weeks we hope to open our workshop space to other local artists looking for space to create and collaborate and also a way for those supporters of the arts to be a part of this exciting movement. I am confident that by working together, we will continue to reach our objectives of improving our community and providing a unique art creation experience to everyone.
Thank you for being a vital part of our journey. I look forward to everything we will accomplish together in the weeks and months to come. If you'd like to reach out to us, you can connect with me at rebecca@studio395.org.
Thanks!,
Rebecca

Earth Day Spotlight
Protecting Endangered Species Through Creativity
Each year on Earth Day, we’re reminded that protecting our planet also means protecting the life that calls it home. Across the globe, countless animals are facing habitat loss, climate change, and human impact—making them part of what we know as endangered species.
While the challenges are real, Earth Day is also a chance to turn awareness into action—and creativity can play a powerful role in that.
Art has always been a way to tell stories, and this Earth Day, it can help tell the stories of species that need our attention most.
Create Art Inspired by Endangered Animals
Choose an endangered species that resonates with you—whether it’s a sea turtle, tiger, elephant, or local wildlife—and create artwork inspired by it. Painting, drawing, or digital art can help bring visibility to these animals and spark conversations with others.
Learn & Share Their Stories
Take time to learn about a few endangered species and what threatens their survival. Then, share what you’ve learned—through social media, conversations, or even creative writing. Awareness is one of the first steps toward change.
Use Sustainable Materials
If you’re creating art, challenge yourself to use recycled or eco-friendly materials. This not only reduces waste but reinforces the message of protecting natural resources that these animals depend on.
Support Conservation Efforts
Consider supporting organizations that focus on wildlife conservation, habitat protection, and rescue efforts. Even small contributions or sharing their mission can make a difference.
Turn Creativity Into Advocacy
Art can be more than expression—it can be advocacy. Whether it’s a mural, a social media post, or a handmade piece, your creativity can inspire others to care, learn, and take action for endangered species.
Earth Day is a reminder that every living being plays a role in the balance of our planet. By celebrating and protecting endangered species, we’re helping preserve the beauty, diversity, and magic of the natural world for future generations.
