Please note: If you are a high school student in the 9th-12th grades, please complete the member form for Studio 416 here.
Get Started
If you would like to sign up to participate in The Art Room, there are three ways to get started:
OPTION ONE
Complete and submit the Member Form below. It’s a short form and will take you less than five minutes to complete. It’s also a confidential form, so none of your information will stay on the website, and the form will go directly to Dr. Marlys Lamar. Completing the form does not commit you to coming to The Art Room, it just gives us more information so we will know how to best meet your needs.
OPTION TWO
Download and fill out the PDF version of the form. You can email it to us at info@theartroomdenton.org.
OPTION THREE
If you prefer, you can call us at (940) 220-9844 and we can help you complete the form right over the phone!
What Happens After The Form Is Submitted?
Once your completed form is received and reviewed, and before starting to attend The Art Room programs, we want to meet with potential members to make sure our mutual needs and expectations are met. The reason for this initial meeting is that at The Art Room we hope to provide an emotionally safe space for our members, supported by the presence of mental health and artist volunteers. And, an emotionally safe space depends on us getting to know you, and for you to learn what we are able to offer.
[Please note that our support staff and volunteers are not equipped to provide one on one supervision or aid with behavioral management.]
After we meet with you and you become a member of The Art Room you’re welcome to attend any open studio time that’s posted on our calendar, and to sign up for any classes we offer as well. Using the space and coming to the classes is free to you. It will be up to you how long and how often you use the space to come and create — whether you do a one-day art project, or something more long-term. We recommend that you come as early as you can for open studio sessions to get the most out of your time here.
We look forward to meeting you for some fun, creative time in The Art Room!
