We are a production house and consulting firm with a constellation of artists, narrative strategists, and facilitators that work at the intersection of arts and community development. We create arts and culture experiences that foster civic imagination and strengthen the cultural fabric of communities and cities.

Studio Loba designs and delivers art and culture projects to strengthen civic life and public wellbeing. We work with artists, designers, culture bearers, arts administrators, and public officials, to develop creative strategies that lead to thriving communities and strong arts and culture ecosystems.

We believe art and culture are essential to support communities in moving through moments of societal change and building structures that support collective wellbeing.
