2025 Richmonder of the Year: Studio Two Three
Article by Don Harrison
The mission statement that guides our 2025 Richmonder of the Year is to empower artists to “make art and make change.” Since opening 16 years ago, Studio Two Three has grown while staying true to that mission — sometimes with a steamroller in tow.
But after moving back to Manchester two years ago, the nonprofit has emerged as more than just a printmaking hub with attitude. For being a much-needed artistic resource, cultural conduit, provocative voice, educational facilitator, civic gathering spot, art ambassador-on-wheels, and innovative inspiration to those navigating new political paradigms, Studio Two Three is Style Weekly’s 2025 Richmonder of the Year.
