Art Escape Studios & The AES Collective 

At Art Escape Studios, we believe in collaboration and building community through the act of creating. Our mission is to develop an environment that fosters self-expression and encourages the growth of artistic skills. 

We are committed to creating a safe and inclusive space for everyone to explore their unique creative abilities,  honor the process, celebrate diversity and promote partnership. 

We trust in the power of storytelling and the potential of collective art.  We fully believe that art has the power to open up conversations, break down barriers and unite our communities. 

We believe that everyone has creative potential, and that together, we can create something beautiful.

The AES Collective

Women have a long and proud history of supporting one another and coming together to create art collectives. 

From the earliest days of the suffragette movement to the more recent rise of the #MeToo movement, women have advocated for each other and sought to create safe spaces for collaboration and creative expression. 

In creating the AES art collective, our artists can use their talents to express  unique perspectives and create art that is meaningful and powerful.

The AES Collective is an integral part of what makes Art Escape Studios so special,  adding a wealth of knowledge and value to our daily practices.
