What Our Members Have To Say
We’re living in a culture of consumerism, and a lot of people are not fulfilled by that. The Crucible is a place you can learn to create instead of just consume.
LR Altman
I appreciate that I can talk to people about art here. You can certainly be an artist and not talk to people and be stuck in your studio, but at a certain point you think, ‘What am I doing here?
Karl Hauser
For people like me who don’t know we have a latent creativity, finding the medium to express myself started giving me purpose and helping me work on myself.
