Cultivate your Curiosity
Cultivating curiosity is an act of devotion - to the unknown, to the questions that tug at the edges of our understanding. At ShapeShifter, we treat curiosity not as a fleeting spark but as a living force, something to be tended and trusted. It asks us to linger in the in-between spaces, to resist easy answers, and to see even the familiar as unfinished. Curiosity turns repetition into discovery, transforms uncertainty into momentum, and teaches us to listen - to materials, to ideas, to one another. When we follow it faithfully, curiosity becomes both compass and companion, leading us toward the work that changes us.

ShapeShifter Art School and Gallery
Our new home was designed with intention in every line and curve. Our building offers two classrooms downstairs and one upstairs, along with twin galleries that mirror each other across the two floors - spaces built to hold both practice and presentation, study and celebration. The architecture itself embodies the balance we strive for: a Brutalist exterior that stands strong and grounded - masculine, yang - embraces an interior of softness and flow - feminine, yin. This dialogue between form and feeling, between edge and curve, is at the heart of ShapeShifter’s identity. Even our logo, a square with one rounded corner, carries this tension forward: a reminder that structure and openness can coexist, and that creativity lives where opposites meet.
