The Kennedy Press at Waterfall Arts is a “green” studio. We aim to use the safest current practices with as little toxins as possible (such as using chemicals that are solvent-free). We’re happy to provide training on how to incorporate these methods into your working style.
Drop-In Rates: The studios at Waterfall Arts all have weekly open studio hours. Open studio fees are $15 per sessions. Sessions run in 3-hour segments. The Open Studio fee is the same for all or some of the 3-hour session. Open Studio hours are subject to change on a quarterly basis. It is best to confirm hours before coming to the studio. To check studio hours email us at info@waterfallarts or call us at 207-338-2222.

Studio Orientations: Studio orientations include a comprehensive review of the studio space, equipment and available resources.
