Featured on huffingtonpost.com

Where do you make art?

It's a simple question with an infinite and colorful range of answers, from a swarming corner of your bedroom to a tranquil space in your backyard. Whatever your artistic studio may look like, its purpose remains the same: a holy place designed specifically for the goal of making art, whatever that means.

"To have a sacred place is an absolute necessity for anybody today," writer Joseph Campbell once said. "You must have a room or a certain hour of the day or so, where you do not know who your friends are, you don't know what you owe anybody or what they owe you. This is a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be."

Having a studio to call your own doesn't require tons of money, lots of space or even necessarily a door. As long as it's your sacred place, that's really all that matters. If you've yet to set up a studio for yourself, or have yet to get in it and start working this lovely day, we've provided some inspiration. Below are 44 art studios submitted by our dear readers and artists, each one unique temple to creativity.

We asked painter and Huffington Post Arts & Culture founding editor Kimberly Brooks to start us off.

My studio is filled with light and filled with all the materials and supplies I could want in one place. A green funky table to mix and store my paints. Extra lying-about canvases for whimsical moods and flashes of curiosity are essential. I have a radio to play music, a small refrigerator to store cold drinks, a wall to hang inspirations and another for smaller oil painting studies and maquettes. It is a sanctuary I’ve created for myself, where there no distractions and I can lose myself in my work.

Jealous yet? Enjoy a healthy dose of #studioporn below, and after that, get your creative self back to work.
