Tucked away between the Diagonal Highway and whirring Foothills Parkway, up three flights of stairs and one turn to the right lies the most magnificent view in Boulder.
When executive director Kari Palazzari envisions Studio Arts’ new hub at Diagonal Crossing, she sees studio spaces full of students, a bustling gallery and a place where people from different walks of life can come together in a space that “the entire community really feels is theirs.” That vision is set to become a reality in early 2024, more than five years after the donation of land for the 12,500-square-foot building. The space will feature five teaching studios for beginner to intermediate classes in five different media: pottery, warm glass, woodworking, blacksmithing and printmaking.
