About

Grey Phoenix rose from the ashes, as envisioned by me, Terri (Therese) Angarone. My aspiration to establish a haven for local creatives stems from my background in fine arts, numerous instructional courses, art exhibitions, art fairs, community art initiatives, and my deep involvement in the art community. My family and I have been proud residents of Brookfield since 2007. Over the years, I have witnessed the growth of this town and recognized the necessity for an artistic space catering to both children and adults.

At Grey Phoenix, we hold the belief that art serves as a universal language that nurtures connections with others and promotes personal development. Our mission is to cultivate a diverse and inclusive environment where artists of all levels can explore, create, share, and express their true selves. We proudly identify as an LGBTQ+ safe space.
