The Playful Space

Twice each month, Monthly Open Studio invites people to use art supplies and connect with other creatives. The Playful Space is a Bakersfield creative studio offering workshops, camps, classes, and community experiences for children, teens, adults, and individuals with disabilities. Its hands-on, process-focused approach uses creativity and play to support self-expression, confidence, and connection. Ongoing offerings include Permission to Play, a team-building experience focused on play and creativity as leadership tools, and Paper + Pinot, a casual creative gathering at Tlo Wines. The studio also hosts community experiences centered on open-ended creativity and exploration. Activities emphasize curiosity and personal expression rather than achieving a perfect result.
