Art for the "Non-Artist"
Welcome to the Dopamine Art Lab. Community art programming created for YOU
in collaboration with Sweet Tree Arts.
We currently offer a free monthly art e-newsletter, an online blog, a monthly outdoor art meetup,
and are resuming our weekly art labs in September 2026. Monthly artist-led classes and workshops will be coming soon.
Stay tuned as we grow, learn and get a little messy!
We would love some community feedback.
Our vision for the Dopamine Art Lab is to create art space for fellow "non-artists."
Heavy air quotes. We believe anyone who's ever put pen to paper, scissors to magazine, or crayon to coloring book is an artist — but we also know firsthand how imposter syndrome loves to argue otherwise.
So here we are: two women who wanted time and space to create for the sheer joy of it, without pressure or pretense. We also wanted somewhere to put all our art stuff that wasn't our living rooms. That modest dream has grown into something bigger — a community where creators of every kind, every level, and every background can find their people, make some messes together, and remind each other that making things is worth doing. No resume required. No experience necessary.
Just show up.
A Little About Us
What's Coming
We're building something for our local creative community — workshops, material deep-dives, collaborative projects, open studio time, equipment rentals, and pop-up art sales. We dream of someday establishing a shared community studio space. But the best communities arecreated by the people in them, so we want to know what you actually need. Take our short survey and tell us. We'd love to hear it - even if it doesn’t match our current vision. ESPECIALLY if it doesn’t match our current vision.
What We Offer
We're just getting started, so be cool. We host free, regularly scheduled art labs where the whole point is showing up and being in the room together. Total beginner? Perfect. Seasoned maker looking for company? Also perfect. Bring your own project, raid our supplies, or just see what happens when you sit down next to a stranger who's also figuring it out. We have prompts, occasional guest hosts teaching skills, and zero judgment if you spend the whole time doodling. We love doodling!
