Saddle Shoes (2020) Acrylic on canvas, Artist: Cheryl Vargas

We believe in the Power of ART! Nothing connects people quicker than their shared love for a song, a poem, a movie or a work of art. 

And when we CREATE ART, our bodies release happy endorphins, the blood pressure is lowered and we enter a state of peace and flow.

Creative in Chief, CHERYL VARGAS started Studio 928 in 2018 out of a deep love for art and a desire to make art easily accessible to those who need it most. She is a portrait artist with a BFA in Graphic Arts from Concordia University Chicago. She is the President of NAWBO Chicago, a Goldman Sachs 10KSB Alumni Ambassador, a Girl Scout Leader and founder of Art Studio 928, LLC, a WBE|MBE certified business. Her company melds art, technology and teaching into a business that serves primarily corporate teams.

We bring the power of art to the workplace through traditional acrylic painting, art team-building activities, and the creation of company cultural ARTifacts.

Mission

To infuse art into workplace culture by using traditional and technology-enhanced means to diminish stress, increase happiness, ignite innovation and amplify creativity through collaborative ART-based team activities.

 What We Do

We ignite the SPIRT! Helping people connect, making people happy and reducing stress, that’s what we do, both LIVE in-person and virtually with remote teams.

We recognize art as a fundamental human need, and we believe that everyone finds joy in the act of creation. What better place for art to boost creative thinking and problem-solving than in the workplace?
