Summary
Studio 37 told the commission it offered 504 classes in 2025 (a 78% increase from 2024), hosted 5,969 visitors (a 59% increase), expanded partnerships and launched Instagram; the presenter said the center will pursue more outreach and accessible fitness and arts programming in the coming year.
Studio 37 reported notable growth in its second year, telling the Mulberry City Commission that the community hub is expanding classes, partnerships and outreach.
"Through 2025 we offered 504 classes, sessions, and workshops in 2025 and that was a 78% increase over our number of classes in 2024," the presenter, Catherine, said, and added that Studio 37 welcomed 5,969 visitors in 2025 — a 59% increase over the prior year. Staff also said partnerships with local groups rose about 27% and social-media engagement expanded after launching an Instagram account in mid-February.
Catherine described Studio 37's mission as "meet, make, move," and outlined programming that ranges from beginner stitch labs and seasonal crafts to tai chi, yoga and intergenerational activities such as "mommy-and-me" classes. The presenter highlighted community-service projects conducted through classes, including making cat beds for a pet rescue, lap blankets for a nursing home and hats for hospitalized infants.
Looking ahead, the presenter said Studio 37 will focus on strengthening engagement, growing social-media outreach and expanding opportunities for residents to learn new skills. The commission received the report with applause and no formal action was required.
