Summer is almost here… and yes, kids are going to need somewhere to put all that energy.
This is that place.
Our camps are built for making, trying things, getting a little messy, and actually getting into it. Kids get to explore painting, sculpture, mixed media, and more, all led by artists who know how to keep it fun and meaningful.
Ages 4–15
Week-long camps · June 22 – August 17
We still have some spots open… but they’re starting to go 🎨

Join us May 30 · 5–8 PM for the Blue Moon Art Market —— a gathering of local makers and artists under one roof.
Browse hand-crafted jewelry, candles, tea blends, and original art. Something for every taste, every budget.
Then, wander down the hall.
@andcreativegallery opens a new exhibition timed to the Blue Moon, featuring work that leans into the darker, wilder side—by @jkarr1968 , @sugar_farm , and @darinmichelle .
Meet the artists, hear the stories, and maybe take something home.
This is a once-in-a-blue-moon kind of night. 🌙✨

We’re starting something new.
Join us for the first themed session of the — Artist Development Lab — a creative forum designed to support artists who are looking for guidance, feedback, and community.
For this edition, we’re creating space specifically for women artists to connect, share work, and discuss the realities of building a creative practice.
Bring a piece of your work and join the conversation around topics like pricing artwork, refining your style, framing and presentation, creating prints, and finding the best ways to get your work seen.
The Artist Development Lab is meant to be an open forum for learning, resource sharing, and networking with fellow creatives.
Each gathering will feature a different theme—this time, we’re highlighting and supporting women artists in our community.
✨ Share your work
🤝 Connect with other artists

Creativity took flight. kind of literally.
Artists aren’t just creators—they’re inventors, innovators. @artagayne said that in class and then challenged the kids to add movement to their work… and they really went for it.
We could see them start to think differently — trying things, adjusting, figuring it out as they went. You see the end results! ✨
That’s the kind of space we’re leaning into during our summer camps….
If you’re looking for a place where your kids can actually do something with their ideas—try new materials, mess around with painting, sculpture, mixed media, even digital—and walk out proud of what they made, THIS IS IT!!
Art Camps run all summer (ages 4–15) from June 22 – August 17 —— mostly full-day (9–4 pm) with different themes in the morning and afternoon so the day never feels stale.
They’ll make things, get messy, make friends, figure stuff out and have a lot of fun!
We still got some spots open—grab them before they fill up!!

Want something different for your Friday night?
Come pour some paint and see what happens. 👀
Sip, Pour, and Create is a laid-back night of abstract painting + mocktails. It’s a little messy, a little unpredictable, and lot more fun than your usual plans.

She’s an artist, performer, and creative director—
