Expanded Access
Great news! While Kids Kollege and the Daycare are operating out of the church building, passholders can now access many parts of the facility during those hours. This means more flexibility to fit art into your day!
The church is often open from 8 - 6, Monday - Friday. If there are closures that impact the doors, you can message us on the new WhatsApp group (details below)
You will need approval before you can use the following spaces or equipment on your own: Pottery studio, glass studio, longarm sewing machine. Ask us how to get approval or if you're already on the list/unsure.
The digital art studio is only open 1-5 pm Monday- Friday, except holidays.
Operating the kiln in the pottery studio is currently (and strictly) off-limits for safety reasons.
WhatsApp Group
Stay in the loop, ask quick questions, share progress pics, and connect with fellow MVAC creatives! We’ve created a dedicated WhatsApp group exclusively for passholders.

This is a great space for community connection, studio updates, and inspiration!
Sign-In & Sign-Out Procedures
To help us better track usage and keep our space safe and secure, we’re asking all members to sign in and out when using the studio. A sign-in sheet will be located near the entrance; use good ol' fashioned paper and pen or we'll have QR codes you can scan!
Cleaning Guidelines for Shared Spaces
We’re proud of our beautiful shared spaces, and we know you are too! To keep them tidy and ready for the next artist:
Wipe down your workspace when finished
Put away tools and supplies where you found them
Leave the space better than you found it
If you're using the clay studio, there is a specific clean-up checklist hanging on the wall for you to fill out as you go! (Snap a pick to send to our email when you're done please)
Firing Service – New Pricing
To keep things fair for everyone, we now charge per square inch for each firing.
But don’t worry—we’ll help you figure it out!
These rates help us cover power, maintenance, and ensure the kiln stays available for everyone! These rates are also subject to change as we dive deeper into our utility costs and there will be signage when the change occurs.
