Exploring the Power of Art at Pacific Northwest Art Laboratory
Established in September 2020 by Eva Vernitska, the Pacific Northwest Art Laboratory offers a unique environment for adults to engage with art and find emotional balance. The studio, located in Excalibur Apartments, provides a safe space for creativity, featuring private studio suites equipped with all necessary materials for artistic expression. The team, including Jenny Duntz and Jakob Cline, emphasizes personalized experiences, helping guests explore various art mediums while fostering a supportive community. In response to pandemic-related concerns, the studio has implemented safety measures, including air ventilation systems and the option for art boxes with online lessons. Their recreational art therapy service targets stress relief, allowing individuals to channel their emotions through creative outlets. Classes are designed to cater to different skill levels and preferences, ensuring a tailored experience for every participant. As PNW Art Laboratory continues to thrive, Vernitska envisions expanding to larger facilities across Bellevue and the Eastside, further enhancing the local art community. This initiative highlights the transformative power of art in promoting well-being and connection among individuals.
