COMMUNITY.
CREATIVITY.
CONNECTION.
It’s okay to smudge the paint. It’s alright if your lines are a little wiggly, or if you want to do a dance while you draw. It’s never too late to create. We’re here to be your teachers and your guides. no matter what season of life you’re in, you’re welcome to have a seat at our table and pick up a paintbrush.
Meet Eugenia & Jeanette
After meeting by chance in 1999, we became fast friends and soul sisters as we navigated maternity and loss side by side, growing closer at every bump in the road. As teachers, we both found fulfillment in helping others grow through mentorship and artistic expression.
Now, as business partners, we strive to cultivate a space filled with unique artistic experiences where guests can connect, heal, and create.
OUR STORY
Your art guides and mentors
A Space for Making, Being, and Becoming
We offer a personalized experience for each person who invests their time in our creative space. We focus on connecting with people and finding out where they are at on their life’s journey so we know how to best guide and support them as they create and they have a positive takeaway from the event.
“My girls, ages 7 and 8 went for their last week of summer camp classes. Both my daughters loved it and kept trying to stay later everyday. They made some beautiful things and did several activities including: chalk, beading, jewelry, painting, collage work, looming, just to name a few. The studio space is soooo cute! Jeanette is a ball of warm, loving energy and my kids warmed up to her quick. Eugenia has beautiful artistic flair and my daughters were able to follow her instructions with fun and sustained interest. They also have classes for adults in the evenings and signing up online is easy. Check them out!”

"I recently spent the evening at Por el Arte Artisan Boutique & Makerspace for Ladies Create Night. I went without a clear notion of what I wanted to create, and left with a painting that I never believed I could achieve. Eugenia is such a wonderful teacher and creative guide. She challenged me to go beyond my safe ideas of what I thought I was capable of doing. As a photographer I’m very confident behind the lens, but a paint brush was a welcome change of creative medium. I would highly recommend Ladies Create Night and look forward to coming again very soon!" - Kristi Snyder

"I sent my boys to Por El Arte's summer camp and they absolutely loved it. It was the perfect fit for their little creative spirits. Every day, they came home with beautiful completed projects- sketches, paintings, jewelry, etc. Our favorites are the 3 robots that they fully built from scratch. They also loved hanging out with Jeanette and Eugenia, who are SO sweet and kind! I highly recommend this camp. They will definitely be going back for more!"
