Founded in 2026, Abide Creative Studio is the first rentable creative studio of its kind in the greater Van Wert area. Located in the heart of downtown, Abide was created to give artists, entrepreneurs, and visionaries a space designed entirely for making something meaningful.
The studio offers 1,200 square feet of beautiful natural light, complemented by professional-grade photography backdrops, thoughtfully selected props, and intentionally curated furnishings. Every element within the space has been chosen with purpose, creating an environment that feels inspiring, elevated, and ready for possibility.
Abide exists to provide both local and visiting creatives with a foundation to build from. Whether you’re seeking fresh inspiration, creative freedom, or simply a space that helps you feel confident in your work, Abide was designed to support you.
This is more than a rental space.
It’s a place to gather ideas, shape vision, and create something beautiful.
Abide Creative Studio was designed with all creatives in mind.

Our Story
Abide Creative Studio was founded and curated by Audrey Reichert + Haleigh Noffsinger
For years, we carried the same quiet dream. A space to retreat to. A place where creativity could stretch its limbs and breathe freely. Somewhere warm and inspiring, especially during those long Ohio winters when the skies turn silver and everything feels tucked away indoors.
What began as a personal longing slowly became something much larger. We didn’t just want a studio for ourselves. We envisioned a space our entire community could step into and feel awakened by. A space that felt like exhale and spark all at once.
In less than a year, that vision found walls, windows, and light. And soon, the Van Wert community would walk through the doors of Abide.
The name Abide holds deep meaning for us. In Scripture, to abide means to remain, to dwell, to stay rooted in Christ. It speaks of resting in something greater than yourself and drawing life from it. In the Gospel of John 15, we are reminded to “abide in Me,” a call to remain connected, grounded, and sustained in God.
That idea shaped everything.
We wanted to create a space where people could remain. Where they could settle in without rush. Where creativity is not forced, but nurtured. Where you can dwell long enough for inspiration to find you.
Designing Abide was never about trends. It was about feeling. We were drawn to a lived in aesthetic, where timeworn antiques hold stories and warm, moody tones meet modern earthy layers. Structure balances softness. Clean lines meet gentle curves. Every detail was chosen to create depth, warmth, and a sense of belonging.
There were early mornings spent antiquing. Long nights building. Endless revisions. Tears. Perseverance. An outpouring of heart in every square foot.
We see Abide as something alive. A space that shifts, evolves, and transforms with the creatives who inhabit it. It will never remain static, because creativity never does. It grows. It breathes. It becomes.
Our hope is simple.
That when you step inside, you feel peace.
That you feel inspired.
And that in this space, you create something that sets your soul on fire.
Abide was built to be more than a studio.
It was built to be a place to remain.
