About Us

Surfaces is a creative studio, art supply shop, and community gathering space located in the heart of Traverse City. We blend hands-on art experiences with high-quality materials, offering a welcoming environment where people of all ages and skill levels can explore creativity. Our studio hosts workshops, drop-in projects, private events, and educational programs designed to make art accessible, joyful, and confidence-building.

Alongside our studio offerings, Surfaces provides a curated selection of artist-trusted supplies, tools, and materials for beginners, hobbyists, and working creatives. We partner with organizations, homeschools and regional arts initiatives to support creative education and community engagement throughout Traverse City.

At Surfaces, our mission is to create a space where creativity feels approachable, connection comes naturally, and everyone leaves feeling inspired.
