ATASCADERO — Amy Beams, owner of Golden State Goods, has joined forces with artists Arthur Mount and Allie Mount of Fieldwork to expand a community arts space in downtown Atascadero.

Fieldwork, founded by Arthur and Allie Mount, has built a following through drawing groups, open studio sessions, and artist-led workshops. With Beams now collaborating, the team plans to broaden programming and accessibility, growing the space into a larger creative hub supporting skill-sharing and connection along the Central Coast.

“Arthur and Allie have built something really special with Fieldwork,” says Beams. “We’re aligned in values and  vision, and excited to grow this space together into a space for the creative community in Downtown Atascadero.”

The team will receive keys to the space on March 1 and plans to launch expanded workshops and programming by mid-March. Offerings will include metalsmithing and jewelry classes led by Beams, along with Fieldwork’s existing drawing sessions, open studio time, and additional guest-led workshops.
