For nearly 25 years, Studio 12 has been part of family summers on Hatteras Island.
Traditions we've built together.
We're collecting stories and photos from the families who made us part of their story.
Join the Founding Families Project, share your memory and help us celebrate this milestone.

For the families who always
find their way back.
A Creative Anchor on Hatteras Island
For more than 20 years, Studio 12 has been a place where people gather to make things together — from first-time painters to working artists. We’ve grown carefully, honoring the spirit this space was founded with, while expanding opportunities for learning, making, and community connection year-round.
