Creatively Wild Art Studio Dumbo

Creatively Wild Art Studio | Dumbo's original Art School since 2009

Winner BEST ART SCHOOL IN BROOKLYN 2021 + 2022 #BestofBrooklyn

Creatively Wild is a locally owned small business in DUMBO, founded by international artist Donna Maree Wilding, better known to all as DM! The studio was the very first original Art School in the area and our doors have been open since 2009. We originally ran out of a small basement studio on Dumbo’s Plymouth Street and grew in scope mostly by word of mouth. Now, the studio is located in a gorgeous light airy space right around the corner on Water Street. We are blessed to be serving our beloved community of DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights, Vinegar Hill, Cobble Hill, Park Slope, Downtown Brooklyn, Lower Manhattan, Tribeca, the Financial District, Seaport + beyond!
