Impact & Celebration
Our art programs extend beyond mere creativity—they make a tangible impact. We reach underserved communities, including individuals with disabilities, veterans, and those reentering the workforce. Through our specialized initiatives, we champion artists with disabilities, ensuring every voice is celebrated. In Reno, Makers Paradise also supports the local art community by providing essential resources, including gallery space and organizing collective art events.
Since opening our doors in Berkeley in April 2019 and expanded to Reno in mid-2022, we’ve been empowering emerging artists. We offer studio rentals, host community events, and provide training programs. Our state-of-the-art gallery not only showcases diverse artistic disciplines but also offers premier rental space for local artists to exhibit their finest works.
Join us at Makers Paradise to bring creative visions to life in a collaborative environment.
Collaboration & Community
Born from a union of visionary minds, Makers Paradise stands as a testament to the combined efforts of Lawrence Silva, Tom Franco, and Christopher Flynn. Their dream was to forge a nurturing haven for both seasoned artists and budding creators, allowing them to not only shine but also market their craft.
Since its inception in April 2019 in Berkeley, CA, Makers Paradise has evolved into more than just an idea. We have blossomed to a full-fledged art galleries in Berkeley, CA and Reno, NV. But it's more than walls and canvases. Our spaces vibrate with community events, offer the solace of studio rentals, and champion training programs designed to elevate emerging artists to new pinnacles of success.
Join us in celebrating art, fostering growth, and championing dreams.
“Makers Paradise are places where artists can make their creative visions a reality in safe and collaborative environments.”
LAWRENCE SILVA | Director
