‍The Johnson Atelier rapidly became an incubator for advancing art techniques and technology. From all over the world, artists gathered at the Johnson Atelier to collectively offer all phases of production. This gathering of artists provided a stimulating and sometimes unorthodox environment in which everyone’s artistic practice could bloom through collaboration, dialogue, and discovery.

Hundreds of artists have benefitted from the Johnson Atelier’s unique apprenticeship program. They have come to the Atelier by different means but all for the same reason — to learn and transition from academic life to the art world.
