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

Our mission is to provide quality art products and innovative art team-building experiences incorporating technology to make creating accessible and fun. 

 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?
