About PF Studios:
Launched in 2019, the PF Studios program is a practice-based platform for artists to develop their craft and skills in relationship with other artists. PF Studios has supported over 40 emerging artists with workspace, mentorship, and career development opportunities.

"We're incredibly proud of what our program has achieved over the past five years," said Leslie Barlow, Director of PF Studios.
