Do you know the accessible path to the STUDIO? Watch this video to navigate your way from the CFA parking lot to the STUDIO lift.

The ADA accessible door to the CFA building is the closest to the ‘Fine Arts Parking Lot’ which can be found on Google Maps. Take the ramp from the Fine Arts Parking Lot. It leads to a button operated automated door. The door opens to a hallway, turn right out of the hallway to arrive at the elevator. To get to the STUDIO take the elevator to Floor 1. The STUDIO’s accessible door is currently CMU ID card operated. And we have a doorbell for non-card holders. Once inside the door, the accessibility lift opens outward to the right, and is operated by a black toggle switch (pressing down to move down and up to move up.) by @studioforcreativeinquiry

@violinjuggler and @aleenaakbarkhan capture a baroque violin bow with the studio’s Artek Spider 2– the two are starting an exciting restoration database for violin family bows.

It was a pleasure hosting @raniamamoun and @siekertm for a reading and conversation about their creative writing! We especially enjoyed hearing about the geographies of home throughout their writings.

Student Commissions – Application shared on our website

The Meshwork festival is calling for proposals from the CMU student community for groundbreaking new creative projects that challenge the sensory boundaries between the visual and the auditory.

The festival will support four projects of up to $1500 in material support to be presented at the festival in late February 2027. Priority will be given to interdisciplinary projects, and any material purchase will need to comply with CMU’s general equipment purchasing guidelines. by @studioforcreativeinquiry
