If you’ve driven through Downtown Davis this Spring, you’ve likely noticed a familiar building at the corner of 3rd & D with a fresh new look.
Bubblegum Art Studio is a creative space for children and their caregivers focused on the process of making art over the end product.
Process art, as it is known, is all about experimentation, risk-taking, and—yes!—mistakes, making it a welcome break from the pressure to achieve perfection.
Young artists not only experience the sheer delight of making art, but also build their confidence, creativity, and decision-making skills.
Owner Wendy Bayram opened the studio with the goal of fostering the deep sense of community that Davis prides itself on.
“I wanted to create a space where people could come and experience a sense of freedom and inspiration, where they could leave behind their stresses and simply just BE,” Bayram told The Dirt. “And that’s what Bubblegum Art Studio is all about—bringing people together, creating community, and finding joy in the process.”
Bubblegum offers a variety of classes for kids ages 1—12, plus weekday and weekend open studio sessions. The Studio’s week-long summer camps for kids ages 4—9 ends with an art show on Fridays. And if you’re searching for something fun and art-oriented for your child’s next birthday, Bubblegum hosts parties and has the craft activities covered.
