Our Story

HOW IT
STARTED.

Amy Turn Sharp, Co-Founder

"We want to create art and we want you to create art with us."
Secret Studio

It started at Dick's Den. Keith and I were having vodka sodas and watching Bergman films projected on the wall. We were talking about the future, talking about Columbus, talking about what we wanted our lives to look like. We were talking about art and music and community.

We wanted to create a space that was a recording studio and an art gallery and an events space — a place where artists of all kinds could come together. A place that was a little bit like Dick's Den, a little bit like a church, a little bit like a living room.

We opened Secret Studio on March 13, 2020 — and closed it the same day. The pandemic had arrived in Columbus. We spent the next year building out the space, learning, and waiting.

When we reopened, something had shifted. The need for community and connection was more urgent than ever. Artists were hungry for a place to make things together. Secret Studio became that place.

We are located in the Franklinton Arts District — Columbus's most creatively alive neighborhood — at 503 West Walnut Street. Come make something with us.
