The Creative Center provides art and craft classes for the community as a whole as well as allows local artists space as needed to work on their own projects by providing artists access to materials, a place to work and a space to sell their creations. |
The Production Site, located at the back of the retail store, is a place to create opportunity. Here, sewing machines and weaving looms are used to produce products that range from rugs, wall hangings, scarves, and visors, to fanny bags. All income generated in the Production Site is used to offset the cost of running the building.
Also, low-income community members are recruited to help generate their own income by producing products and selling them at Someday Isle. |

Mission Statement
Depot Studios is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organized to promote and support a model of personal success through participation in applied arts training and the marketing of the products of that effort as demonstrated. Depot Studios is organized to operate throughout the regional corridor from Onamia to Sandstone in the service of individuals raising their family incomes through their own efforts.
Depot Studios has a vision of families moving out of poverty through income opportunities that complement the cyclical nature of seasonal work in a tourist economy. The mission is getting families beyond poverty.
The focus is on facilitating individual's entry into the marketplace as competitive product and service-driven entrepreneurs. The vehicles are Someday Isle and the Creative Center, with assistance from the Production Site and the Computer Lab.
It has a five-member board from the Isle, Wahkon, and Onamia communities. |
