Curio is an exciting art space that offers fine art, handmade artisan items, and art classes taught by PA certified and professional art educators. With the perfect balance of quirky and refined, it's a fun space for classes, art shows, events, and to pick up that little something you didn't realize you needed!

​

Owners and local art teachers, Jason and Lauren Shorr, wanted to bring a unique and exciting space to Zelienople that integrated their combined passions of art, education, and community! The result is CURIO, the area's first gallery and art studio space that offers handmade and designed creations showcasing local/regional artists along with exhibitions by the regions top fine artists . 

​

Art classes and workshops are offered in our dedicated art studios with a focus on student artists creating their own work with guidance by a certified PA Art Educator. Classes range from one meeting “make-n-takes” to weeklong workshop experiences and even the community's first full ceramics studio.  Adults can organize their own group and work collaboratively with CURIO to customize an art event tailored to their unique ambitions.  CURIO focuses more on art education through techniques, materials, and experience rather than the typical craft projects many have encountered with other studio workshop spaces.

​

Rotating art exhibits by regional artists are featured throughout the year in our gallery space alongside our high-quality handmade gifts. Receptions for our artists are hosted in conjunction with their exhibits to invite the community to experience and enjoy the visual arts.

​

At the heart of it all is a love for the arts and art education, a quest for the quirky, and an excitement to support regional fine artists and artisans!  CURIO is an exciting and unique space to visit in Zelienople!
