We at Creative Pier are a collective of educators, artists and creative arts therapists inspired by the belief - and our own direct experiences - in the powerful therapeutic effects of artistic self-expression on personal growth and self-development.

Located in Manhattan's bustling Union Square, our tranquil and stimulating studio space is a place for artists and non-artists alike; individuals of all ages and abilities, backgrounds and beliefs, in search for a supportive and creative community.

We value and appreciate art in its many forms for the process that takes place in its creation and for art's ability to capture and portray the full range of human experience {emotion, thought, conflict, etc...} in its authentic form.

Being creative can be therapeutic, while understanding your creation can be enlightening. Join us to find out more!
