Alchemia Arts

06/09/2026

Yesterday was a great day as we reopened the Alchemia Gallery to artists and the public!

After a fire in the rear alley last December caused damage to the gallery’s exterior and smoke damage inside, it was wonderful to again welcome artists and the public back into the space.

Thank you to our partners at Rebuilding Together Petaluma, our supportive neighbors, and everyone who helped make this moment possible. Most of all, thank you to our incredible artists and staff.

This reopening is just the beginning. We'll be celebrating with a community Grand Opening later this summer. Stay tuned!

Check out some of our favorite memories of Dance Alchemy performing at the annual Inclusion Festival! Even though the festival is taking a breather in 2026, we’re still finding ways to dance together.
We’ve been invited to perform at their alternative event, Fest Forward! It’s a volunteer appreciation and recruitment event happening this Saturday, 5/9, at the Petaluma Community Center. We're so happy to help our friends at Inclusive Compass spread the word and keep the Inclusion Festival spirit alive.

Today, our Novato artists got a surprise sneak peek of something we’ve been working on behind the scenes… and now we’re excited to share it with our whole community. We’ve purchased a new home for our Novato program!

This space represents so much possibility. More room to create, to connect, and to grow together as a community of artists. Seeing Alchemia artists experience it for the first time today made it all feel real.

We’re just getting started. Stay tuned for ways you can support us as we prepare to open the doors and bring this space fully to life.
