APRIL 2025

Studio 55 Arts Guild Program

Wednesday, April 9, 2025 at 1:00 PM

LOCATION: National Avenue Christian Church

1515 S. National Ave., Springfield, MO

Program by Robert & Sharon Reed

We have a special treat for you at our April 9 meeting. Our speakers, Robert & Sharon Reed, are the married team behind Walnut & Ash Interiors, an interior design studio based in Springfield, Missouri. As artists and art lovers, we understand the importance of creating a space--we're visual people after all. We are fully aware that the right colors, textures, values, shapes and lines influence and inspire. Have you ever wondered just how it is that professional designers curate work for a particular space? How do they decide which piece or pieces to hang, where and how many? How much of their budget is dedicated to artwork? How do they navigate trends? If you'd like the answers to those questions and so many more, you won't want to miss this meeting!

Walnut & Ash began with a shared love of creating comfortable, inviting and stylish spaces for themselves and their friends. Since 2021, Walnut & Ash has designed rooms from scratch, and redesigned well-loved environments for residential and commercial clients in southwest Missouri. They believe that no two projects are alike, and tailor each unique space to the people who inhabit them.

Below, we've included some of their projects featured on their website (which you can visit here). We think you'll find our next meeting full of insights and ideas that can inspire you.

Welcome to Studio 55! Studio 55 Arts Guild meets monthly for programs on the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 1:00 p.m. in The Gallery at National Avenue Christian Church, 1515 S. National Ave., Springfield, Missouri. The entrance to The Gallery is adjacent to the parking lot behind the church. We welcome visitors to our programs and it is our hope you will explore our website's menu at the top of the page and learn more about us.

Our membership is composed of art lovers and visual artists of all media and levels of expertise, including art professionals and emerging artists who are 18 years old and above. The club meets monthly for educational programs, sponsors workshops, organizes exhibitions and facilitates the interchange of ideas, information, and motivation of our members and the arts community. Members and guests are invited to show and share their art at each meeting. This is a fun time of sharing, socializing, and enjoying light refreshments.
