(Oh, and did I mention it's totally FREE?)
Last year, something magical happened.
I wondered… what if we gathered some of my favorite artists, teachers, and creative humans for one colorful week?
Not an online conference. Not another Zoom summit.
An experience. A place.
A place where creativity comes first. Where strangers become friends. Where we slow down, make things, laugh, experiment, and remember how good it feels to create.
Thousands of people said yes.
It became one of the most joyful weeks I’ve ever experienced.
So we’re doing it again.
Welcome to Art Oasis!
What you'll discover
Art Oasis is a place to wander.
A place to play.
A place to try something new.
A place to reconnect with the creative part of yourself.
Spend the week painting, collaging, stitching, drawing, journaling, writing, experimenting, and connecting with artists from around the world.
Come for one workshop.
Stay for six.
Watch from your couch.
Create at your kitchen table.
Wear pajamas if you want to!
There are no grades, no pressure, and no keeping up.
Just creativity.

FAQ
You have questions? I've got answers!
Is this a virtual event?
Yes! All the workshops will be streamed virtually, so you can watch from anywhere, any time during the event week. Fun!
How much does it cost?
Art Oasis is totally FREE to attend live. You'll also be able to grab an All-Access Pass if you want lifetime access to all the workshops as well as an amazing bundle of bonus goodies.
When does Art Oasis 2026 start?
Art Oasis 2026 will be October 17-23, 2026. Over 7 days we'll have 45+ workshops and cozy conversations for you to tune into – from painting, doodling, drawing, and paper crafting, to writing, block printing, and more. We can't wait!
Are replays available?
All the sessions will be available to watch during the week of Art Oasis and for one week after. Access to everything inside Art Oasis will expire on October 30, 2026 at 11:59pm PT, but you can purchase an All-Access Pass at any point if you decide you'd like forever-access.
What time zone are the workshops and sessions?
Pacific Time! Here's a handy timezone converter so you can see what timezone that is for you.
Do I have to pay for The Treasure Chest All-Access Pass?
Purchasing The Treasure Chest All-Access Pass is completely optional – you can watch as many workshops as you'd like during Art Oasis for free. But if you decide you want to keep access to all the workshops forever, you can purchase the pass at any time during Art Oasis. (It's better to buy it early if you want it, though, because the price increases once the event startsand then again once it's over!)
