Get involved
Every studio is free.
Somebody chooses
to pay for that.
Free is not the same as cheap. Every season of every studio is paid for by people who decided a young person on the southeast side should not need a credit card to hold a camera. Funders, in-kind donors, school partners, and volunteers all start the same way — write to info@balancepointstudios.org.
-
Give unrestricted
The most useful gift we can receive. It keeps every studio free, keeps the ride-outs rolling, and lets us say yes when a young person shows up mid-season.
-
Fund a studio
Direct support to The Most Promising, Balance Point, UnCut Art School, or Mount Pleasant Printing. We'll show you exactly what a season costs.
-
Give in kind
Bikes, helmets and parts. Screens, inks, blanks and a press. Cameras, lenses, laptops. Studio and gallery space. Printing and framing.
-
