On March 26th, the Valley Arts District celebrated the Grand Opening of IronWorks Studios.

HANDS has brought the 3,000 square foot Modern Ironworks back to life that once produced everything imaginable in iron and steel.   It is  reborn as a home for arts non-profits in a modernized facility. 

The building facility house ValleyArts, Inc a non-profit coordinating the Valley Arts District; ORNG Ink., the teen arts program named by Orange High Schools students.  These students are taught graphic design and sell their products out of the ORNG, Ink store.  Part of the building is being used by an artist-in-residence program, Steiner Studios, to created video/media projects with high school students.
