About Happy Medium Creative Studio

Happy Medium Creative Studio is a bright, welcoming art space located in Baytown, TX.

Colors Are Magic is formerly known as The Color Wheel HTX 

our "why"

Our goal at Happy Medium is to be a place for people to reconnect with joy, curiosity,

their creative sides and—especially—each other.

 

Too many of us feel worn down by the relentless hustle of daily life. We’re exhausted, stressed, lonely, and often convinced we’re not doing enough or being enough.

Happy Medium was born as a solution to those all too common feelings in today’s achievement driven world. We wanted to create a space where people could gather, create, exhale, and simply be happy.

 

The business model for Happy Medium Creative Studio is built on two foundations:

1.           The “third space” social movement, and

2.           The belief that creating regularly is essential to personal well being.

 

Research shows third spaces foster social cohesion, emotional well being, and a sense of place—they are “anchors of community life” that help people feel valued and connected. Happy Medium aims to fill that gap in our own community by offering a warm, welcoming place where people can slow down, gather, and reconnect.

 

Creative expression is not just “fun”—it is scientifically proven to increase feelings of well being, self worth, and personal empowerment. When people create together, it strengthens social bonds and combats isolation—exactly the kind of communal healing our modern world needs.

 

Our vision is a welcoming, community centered space where kids, adults, families, friends, and coworkers can come to create, play, and make memories through art and togetherness.

We offer art classes and hands on creative workshops for all ages, interests, and skill levels, plus, our Creative Café experience. 

Basically, just a place to

GATHER * CREATE * BE HAPPY

My favorite things

My Family!   My hubby, Steve, is a cutie patootie chef who makes the best EVERYTHING in the kitchen.  My kiddos are all above average in smarts, looks, humor, and manners.  All thanks to their Dad.

 

Accessories!  I love an enamel pin, scarf, or hat added to an outfit.  Often all three!

Puns!  They just make me happy and you'll notice several of my favorites around the studio.

Being on a boat!  Just a cruising speed where I can enjoy a packed lunch and have the wind keep me cool while I enjoy to sun.

Painting!  A paint brush in my hand is my happy place and it soothes my anxious, overactive brain like nothing else.

Books!  Specifically, audiobooks.  I'm slightly obsessed and listen to audiobooks almost everyday.  My favorite book series is the Cormoron Strike series by Robert Galbraith (JK Rowling).

Sweets!  Hi, I'm Rita and I'm a sugar addict.  Some of my favorites are Runts, anything Biscoff, and the Banana Brulee Cookie from Pudgy's.

-Alyssa

We had the best time with our group at Happy Medium.  We came for the creative cafe and loved how everyone was able to do their own craft.  Just like at a restaurant I was envious of what my friend ordered and am already making plans to come back to try out all the things!  Love it!
