What is the Curious Art Creative?
It is Art for Curious Humans.
Curious Art Creative was built on the belief that creativity belongs to everyone. We create art experiences for curious humans — people who want to explore, experiment, make, learn, connect, and discover something new about themselves through creativity.
Our Studio Philosophy:
Come curious.
Experiment freely.
Laugh often.
Meet great people.
Leave with something you made—and a story to tell.
Bring Yourself. Bring a Friend. Bring the Whole Team. We’ll provide the Inspiration!
Darcy Ferrill and Shawn Trentlage have spent more than 25 years designing, building, painting, sculpting, and creating public art, architecture, and imaginative spaces that bring people together. Now they're opening the Trellage-Ferrill Studio doors to share what they've learned along the way with the communities they love.
Curious Art Creative isn't about making perfect art—it's about making time to be creative, trying something new, getting your hands messy, and discovering what happens when curiosity leads the way. Whether you've never picked up a paintbrush or you've been creating for years,
Darcy and Shawn believe creativity is for everyone. Their classes and workshops are designed to inspire exploration, connection, and the joy of making, and will be offered at their studios in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Key West, Florida. Come curious, experiment freely, laugh often, meet great people, and leave with something you made—and a story to tell.
