Designed as a collaborative space for creative professionals and professional creatives, the Studio for Arts and Works (SAW) was remodeled from a chainsaw shop into artist studios and minimalist, industrial-style offices on a modest budget using non-toxic, salvaged and recycled materials wherever possible.

The tenant mix at SAW (4 potters, 2 painters, a jeweler, a glass artist and 10 service professionals) showcases our commitment to enhancing the vitality of our community through our work. The SAW gallery space, open to the public, hosts local artists on a monthly basis and has become an essential stop on Carbondale’s monthly “First Fridays” gallery walk.
