Owner’s Narrative:
Since 2003, Davis Studio has delivered high-quality arts educational experiences to students of all ages.
Our classes, camps, workshops and educational programs are centered around the visual arts and are
designed to bring out the creator within. Davis Studio’s talented teaching staff consists of experienced
instructors who use the power of the arts to positively impact individual and community well-being. In
addition to its on-site programs, Davis Studio has participated in a number of events and partnered with
schools and organizations throughout our region. We are proud to have served more than 24,000 students
over the years. We have helped create many happy art-filled memories and have played a part in the
beautiful artwork that is proudly displayed in thousands of homes in our community.
Davis Studio hosts programs year-round, seven days a week. Our center is teeming with activity and
creative energy. On any given day you might find one space containing a group of preschoolers making
large-scale body tracings with crayons, while in a different room, teens are making still-life drawings in
charcoal, and in a third room, a group of senior citizens are painting landscapes in oil. Davis Studio is a
beloved artistic home for our many members in our town and the surrounding communities.
Our high quality licensed preschool program is now ready for expansion in order to accommodate infants
and toddlers, a much needed service in our community. There is high interest in this program and we
often have an extensive list of families on our waitlist.
Davis Studio has demonstrated consistent growth over its eighteen years in business. Our programs have
continued to develop in the five years since we moved to the Shelburne Road location. Having assessed
current and future programming needs, we are looking to expand the preschool into a new building, which
will allow space in our main building for continued expansion of our other programs. In order to do this
we are planning on removing the existing non-conforming accessory structure of 1,268 sf and replacing it
with a new and conforming building of 1,594 sf on the East side of the property.
Sincerely,
Teresa Davis, Owner/Director
