Alexis Schottenstein is the visionary founder of Dirtbag and after years immersed in the tech industry, she was craving a departure from screens and Zoom calls, and looking for a place to rediscover her creative joy.

Driven by a mission to blend art, tech and community — without all the frills of a classic art studio space — Dirtbag offers an open and inclusive space where adults can play, finesse their skills or just get messy with creative misfits from all different disciplines.
