CO-FOUNDER KATYE (KATIE) NEWHOUSE HAS BIG PLANS FOR PRISM STUDIOS, INCLUDING EXPANSION INTO THE ADJACENT VACANT SPACES OF THE BUILDING.

SHE FOUNDED THE SMALL BUSINESS WITH HER FRIEND WITH THE AIM OF
PROVIDING A SPACE TO PROMOTE NOT JUST ART, BUT TO DEVELOP IT.

“IT CAN BE A VERY EXPENSIVE HOBBY. AND SO IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT WE PROVIDE A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WHO ARE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT IT HAVE THE SPACE TO GROW AND LEARN AND EVOLVE THAT BUT ALSO THE SPACE TO DECIDE IF THAT’S WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.”
