In early 2016, Sulfur Studios expanded into the upstairs of their building at 2301 Bull Street in the heart of Starland. That extra level has completely revolutionized the gallery and community space, allowing them to host multiple events, offer more workspaces for artists, and provide a venue for musicians and performing artists.

Sulfur also grew when it became home to indie boutique The Hidden Hand, which, thanks to its street-facing window, beckons shoppers to come explore all of Sulfur’s offerings. Whether you want to learn how to create radical change within your community, attend a literary reading, catch a documentary screening, marvel over handmade goods, ponder the hottest art exhibition, or see local artists at work, Sulfur is the place to be.
