The Artpothecary Public Arts Space

Because Art is Medicine

The Artpothecary is DAC’s public arts space — a creative hub where people connect with artists through meaningful, art-driven experiences that support both community and creative careers.

The space offers three ways to engage:

1. Fresh Art Pop-Ups
Public art shows that spotlight DAC artists, creating accessible opportunities to experience, collect, and connect with local creative work.

2. Fully Customizable Private Events
Host a private gathering in an art-forward space designed to celebrate creativity, connection, and impact.

3. Artist-Led Group Workshops (8+ people)
Book a private, hands-on workshop led by one of our DAC artists — perfect for teams, celebrations, and creative groups.

All proceeds from Artpothecary events directly support the Developing Artist Collaboration or go straight to the DAC artists who lead these experiences. When you gather here, you’re investing in artists, creativity, and community.
