who we are

We're an artist-led creative experience company. That means a real artist shows up with a real project, sets it all up, teaches it warmly, and packs it all down — so the people you're gathering get to relax and make something they're proud of.

three ways to work together

pick the shape that fits your group

all experiences
Three women laughing while making art together at a Gallery Box workshop

01

Guided Creative Experiences

An artist shows up, sets up, teaches, and cleans up. Your group just gets to make & take something they're proud of.

02

DIY Art Kits

The same projects, prepped as take-home kits — for distributed teams, resident giveaways, or people who create on their own schedule.

03

Custom Art, Branded Goods & Gifting

Hand-made pieces made for your brand or occasion — printed totes, painted coasters, keepsakes, favors, and one-off art objects.

how it works

three steps, then it's handled

  1. 01

    tell us what you're envisioning

    Group size, creative interests, budget, timeline, your space, the occasion. A few sentences is plenty to start.

  2. 02

    choose + customize your experience

    Start with a Gallery Box activity and we'll shape it around your group — age range, room, goals, and the vibe you're after.

  3. 03

    sit back, we handle the rest :)

    Depending on the event: RSVPs, promo flyers, setup, materials, instruction, event photography, and cleanup.

a few favorites

Beginner-friendly projects that consistently fill a room. Each one can be themed, simplified, or scaled up.

  • A participant smiling with a freshly poured acrylic canvas

    acrylic paint pours

    painting

    Pour, swirl, and tilt fluid acrylics into a bold abstract painting with dreamy color blends. Relaxing, beginner-friendly, and every single canvas comes out one-of-a-kind.

  • Hands rolling ink and printing a carved block onto a canvas tote

    carved & printed totes, pouches, tea towels

    printmaking

    Rooted in the textile-printing traditions of Bagru, Rajasthan. Carve a design or choose a Bagru-inspired stencil, roll on ink, and hand-print a tote, pencil pouch, or tea towel.

  • A participant holding up her finished kinusaiga fabric panel

    kinusaiga japanese fabric art

    fabric + no-sew

    Colorful fabric pieces become a no-sew design on a foam art panel, inspired by the Japanese craft of kinusaiga. It feels like painting with fabric, and the finished piece is made for the wall.

  • A full table of residents shaping paper quilling designs

    paper quill panels + greeting cards

    paper

    Roll and shape colorful paper strips into a quilled canvas and a matching card. A calm, detailed workshop that always surprises people with how good their piece looks.

  • We have had the pleasure of working with Ami over the last two years and absolutely love her! We serve as event coordinators for our apartment community, and have invited Ami almost quarterly to host a craft night. She is always professional, prepared, and caters to the needs of our community (all ages and abilities). We know that when we invite her, the event will be a success! She always has new and innovative ideas for crafts.

  • I had the pleasure of working with Ami last night for one of my resident events. She hosted a paper quill design workshop and my residents LOVED IT! Ami was super sweet and engaging with the residents and the activity was very fun. Ami was professional and her set up was super cute, perfect for Instagram pictures.

  • Ami came and set up a tote bag block printing party at our apartment complex. She was great to work with, and the event went really smoothly! She's got lots of options for craft events, so I highly recommend her!

  • Ami was incredibly pleasant, knowledgeable, and hands-on throughout the entire experience. She was fantastic with the kids and made everything feel fun and comfortable. I highly recommend her and would absolutely do this again. Looking forward to the next one!

  • We had Ami lead a craft event and it was amazing! She came early to set up and brought all the supplies, no additional setup necessary. She explained the process well and is so friendly and helpful! We made fall and winter-themed personalised coasters.

most people at our tables
say they're “not artistic”

They're always wrong — and the finished piece proves it. I started Gallery Box because making something with your hands, next to other people, changes a room. — Ami
