We came to Dottie's for a paint & sip private bridal shower party and it was fantastic! Janine was extremely helpful and responsive when it came to booking the party and our teacher Aremi was incredible! She was friendly, fun, and patient with us; we couldn't have asked for a better time! 10/10 recommend for your next private party!!

On 5/5/2025 Vinny Cavada had this to say:
Ever since I was little, art has been a huge part of my life. I’ve always been drawn (no pun intended) to expressing myself and my imagination in a physical form, as when I was younger I used to incoherently skribble what to me were superheroes. From there, I tried many different ways to improve my art and find a community behind it. I finally found it in a small art school run by my idol, Ms. Dottie. She took us on field trips throughout Chicago, taking us on architecture tours and led us on explorations through museums where she encouraged us to find a bench, pop in an airpod, and draw what we saw. At the end of every year, we would pick 5 art pieces, title them, and display them at the local library at our annual Art Show. Because of her, I learned that art is more than just lead on a piece of paper. Art is history, art is expression, art is culture, art is rebellion, art is uniquely you. Since my departure as a student, Dottie’s has grown tremendously, and rightfully so. If you are reading reviews considering whether or not to put your kids through her art studio or even join yourself, do it, it’s so worth it. She is an amazing teacher that creates an environment that encourages self expression and allowed me the opportunity to make lifelong friends. THANK YOU DOTTIE!!!

On 4/13/2025 Breanna Jelinsky had this to say:
Around 10 of us came in for a paint and sip class and had absolutely the most incredible time! Aremi was the most attentive, kind, friendly, and supportive teacher ever! I will absolutely be back for another class! As someone with very little painting experience, Aremi made sure we had all the tools and encouragement we needed to succeed, and we all left with beautiful paintings and smiles!!
