what we do
Buccal Studios is an artist- and educator-led initiative dedicated to connecting artists, students, and community partners through creative, community-driven arts education. Our mission is to build programs that spark curiosity, foster collaboration, and make the arts accessible for all. We support learning across disciplines by providing families and educators, to open-source materials from museums and leading arts organizations—plus original resources we create! Our programs welcome educators in any subject who want to bring contemporary art, artists, and real-world themes into their teaching.
We’re passionate about social practice—empowering students to become designers, advocates, and creative thinkers, while building bridges to nonprofit partners and community resources.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to connect public school students with contemporary artists through collaborative workshops and guest lectures. Check back often as we roll out new core projects and creative opportunities!
