West Side Creative Market operates Memorial Day through September every Monday and Friday. It features 21 spaces for Artists to show and sell their work. We market this event as a commerce space so our Artists can build relationships and sell their work. This space has generated over $1,000,000 in artist sales- because. webuilt it that way.

The Artpothecary is located in our headquarters warehouse in West Rehoboth. This is a public space where our groups meet, and our Artist members can host their own workshops or have their own creative events.

Emerge Together is a creative mindset group hosted by Lisa Westbrook & Ryan Vai. It’s a supportive gathering where Artists of all persuasions are invited to hang out, share what’s on their mind, what’s holding them back & connect with peers. Artistry is more than just creating stuff- it’s a journey we’re all on together.

You don’t have to be a member to come to this meeting.

Emerge is DAC’s year-long artist development journey that runs September to September annually for 10 devoted DAC Artists. Designed to help emerging creatives strengthen their mindset, business skills, and confidence. Through mentorship, education, and accountability, artists learn to price their work, tell their story, and grow a sustainable creative career — all within a supportive community that keeps them moving forward long after the program ends.

We believe Artists should never have to “starve”, and they can build sustainable businesses.

We believe an Artist’s abundant mindset and sense of belonging to a community is the key to success.
