Spruill is more than just a place to make art -it’s a sanctuary. A place where the noise of the day quiets, creativity flows freely, and community blooms. For so many, our studios are a home away from home and the best part of their busy week.
But not everyone has access to that same sense of belonging and renewal. And, shouldn’t everyone have the chance to discover the comfort, confidence, and joy that comes from creating art?
Research proves what our hearts already know: Art Heals.
Just 45 minutes of creative expression can lower stress hormones by 25%.
60% of americans say the arts help them cope during times of emotional distress.
69% describe the arts as a powerful, uplifting force in their lives.
And yet, numbers can’t capture the spark in someone’s eyes when they finish a painting they never thought they could make, or the laughter shared in a class among new friends. The transformation that happens within these walls is real – and it’s magical.
That’s why this year, 100% of every dollar you give to Spruill’s Annual Fund will go directly to scholarships – ensuring that cost never stands in the way of creativity. The demand is greater than ever: scholarship requests have grown by more than 50% each of the past two years, and, in 2025 alone, we’ve already awarded more than $120,000 in support to students of all ages.
Your gift opens the studio door for someone who needs it – a child discovering their creative voice, an adult rebuilding their confidence, a neighbor seeking solace through clay, color, and community. Together, we can make sure everyone has the chance to experience the healing power of art. Let’s keep the magic alive – for everyone.
