The Studio Membership Information & Orientation Session provides essential information for individuals interested in joining the AGB Studios community and is mandatory for all new Studio Members before accessing studio spaces.
This combined session provides everything you need to begin participating safely and confidently in the studio community. Participants will receive a guided tour of the studio facilities and an introduction to the available studios, equipment, membership benefits, and creative opportunities. Staff will review studio policies and procedures, health and safety protocols, the AGB Code of Conduct, studio access procedures, and community expectations.
During the session, staff will also discuss each member’s studio interests and access needs, identify primary studio areas, outline any required equipment assessments or training, assist with storage unit sign-up and membership waivers, and answer questions about studio schedules, membership benefits, and access procedures to ensure members feel prepared to make the most of their studio membership.
Sessions are offered twice monthly, with the same content provided at each session. Registration is required in advance.
Available Session Times:
- First Tuesday Afternoon | 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM
- Third Wednesday Evening | 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM
