Hello my name is Javaun Willis and I’ve been working hard at getting my vision for Endless Art off the ground. Endless Art will be a 24 hour studio based in Chicago dedicated to creating a safe, spacious, and a work friendly environment for artists. Whether you’re a painter, architect, professional designer, student, or even just want to explore your creative side and spend time outside the house, you’re more than welcome to utilize the space and supplies to aid you in your creative workflow.
Growing up I was always fascinated with superheroes and comic books and fantastical world building which made me want to sketch and draw and create. As I became older and more skilled I realized that the supplies became more expensive and the space I desired to work in was much larger than what I had available. Then before I knew it, I went off to school in Florida at Full Sail University to study computer animation. The special thing about Full Sail is that they had their facilities running 24/7, which meant there was always a place to work and I always had many tools and supplies at my disposal.
After I moved back home to Indiana it was almost strange not having a place I could always go to escape and dive into my art. Which is why I want to create an open environment for people who live in a larger city such as Chicago, where space at home may be limited, or even just a place where you can clear your head and recenter your focus. I also know that for many artists, especially up and coming ones, resupplying your materials can become expensive. I want to create an affordable experience for not only professionals but also for young artists trying to build their brand.
All funding for Endless Art will go toward initial startup expenses, marketing, and pinpointing a location to setup shop. All contributions, no matter if its a dollar or if you decide to take part in one of the perks provided, will be vital to the development of this project. I’m prepared to take on this journey with you all, and whether the goal is met or not, any funding made will go toward the opening of the studio whether that be through bank services or other means. All that matters is that it starts here with you all and I just want to say thank you in advance for helping me pursue my vision.
