Hexed Holler Collective offers a photography studio and a place to build community

ZANESVILLE, Ohio – A new rentable art studio and event space has opened up in downtown Zanesville. Hexed Holler Collective held a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Zanesville-Muskingum County Chamber of Commerce on Thursday.

The creative space was founded by a former firefighter and EMT named Sara Becker, who wanted to open a workspace and community for local artists.

“I just feel like we’re in a world where people need connection and need creativity and need I was like ‘nows the time, better late than never and do it now.’ No better time than the present so I’ve always been creative and I was like ‘I need an outlet I need a people, I need to just get the ball rolling,'” Becker said. “I moved out here two and a half years ago and I haven’t quite made the community I want yet so I was like ‘alright, let’s build it then.”

The studio is available to rent by the hour with memberships on offer for those who plan to routinely use the space. Becker is planning to host events like Coven Nights at the end of each month. She also intends to offer CPR, BLS, and First Aid classes thanks to her previous career experience.

“I am looking forward to just having a community and being a space that people want to be at and want to be involved in and grow in,” Becker said. “More to come, I’m going to keep adding and building and it’s going to just keep getting better and bigger.”
