We create art experiences designed to help people experiment, play, connect, and strengthen their creativity — whether you consider yourself an artist or haven't picked up a paintbrush since elementary school.
Led by JJ Riggs, The Creative Rebellion brings approachable art experiences into unexpected spaces throughout Utah. We've created with organizations and communities including SLAS, Midvale Main Street Gallery, UMOCA, Tracy Aviary, Workshop SLC, Hills Kitchen, and more.
JJ is a practicing fine artist with more than 20 years of experience in art, design, creative leadership, and education. As a Creativity Coach, she helps people move beyond perfectionism, trust their instincts, and rediscover something most of us already have: the ability to create.

Actually, that’s kind of our thing.
The Creative Rebellion offers approachable, slightly unconventional art classes designed to get you out of your head and into making.
Explore Picasso Self-Portraits, Basquiat-inspired art, watercolor, collage, abstract painting, creativity exercises, mixed media, and classes you probably won’t find at your average art studio.
No experience required. Supplies are included. Curiosity highly encouraged.
Come alone. Bring a friend. Have a drink. Make something you’re proud of.

Spend an afternoon making art inside the extraordinary world of Utah artist Pilar Pobil.
Hosted at Casa Pilar, Pilar's home, museum, and garden, this intimate three-hour experience combines art, storytelling, and creative exploration in the environment where Pilar lived and created.
We'll begin by exploring Pilar's life, artwork, home, and creative philosophy before moving into a two-hour guided art experience inspired by Pilar. Guests will create throughout Casa Pilar and its gorgeous garden while enjoying light food and drinks.
This isn't about being “good at art.” It's about seeing differently, experimenting, and letting another artist's world spark something in your own.
Perfect for artists AND people who don't consider themselves artists.
Come curious. Make something unexpected. Leave inspired.
