ABOUT WOODSHED ARTS

What?

At Woodshed Arts, we create and help other people create. We exist to support and celebrate new artistic works and the artists who birth them. We offer classes, studio time, and full tech (professional lighting, sound, and recording capabilities) in a positive workshop environment. We aim to serve artists of all ages, stripes, and abilities in Chatham county, the Triangle area, and the larger community.

 

Why?

The performing arts offer us a way to reckon with life's big questions while celebrating our connections to each other and appreciating the present moment. Homegrown music, theater, and dance are powerful community adhesives and fundamentally important to the health of our society.

Where?

The Woodshed is a 1600 sq ft work shed that has been reimagined into a multi-purpose theatrical studio. Located off of Jack Bennett road on Sam & Lizy's land, the Woodshed functions as a rehearsal space, classroom, recording studio, recital venue, and more. 

A 1500 sq ft vegetable garden beside the studio serves as another place for "creative growth." As we get rooted, we hope to add gardening component to the Woodshed community. "Cultivate the root; the leaves and branches will take care of themselves."
