“The Pour is a multifunctional building that aims to satisfy local Artists’ needs of studio space, access to supplies and equipment, and a space to foster the creative community in Manhattan, KS. The full building includes studios for both temporary and permanent artists, and beginner classes. The Pour café and Art supply store on the main level supports both the artists in the building and rest of the community. The art supply store features custom casework that organizes the supplies to be calming and easy to navigate. The Pour café is a relaxing and rejuvenating place cultivating community and creativity. These spaces also act as a gallery to showcase, sell, and support local artists and their artwork.”
