This is an incredible creative coworking space and community hub. I've gone to Wheelhouse for open studio hours, guided art classes with experienced instructors, and cool events where they bloom out into the scenic outdoor space behind the facility. This is the place to find your own creative rhythm, whether you…

Sarah did an amazing job with our stained glass class. I wish I lived closer to take more classes. The Wheelhouse is an amazing place to discover your inner artist skills or expand your abilities. I highly recommend it!

Truly such a great space for Bozeman- one of those hidden gem places that I swear if more people knew about they would be floored!

This is an incredible creative coworking space and community hub. I've gone to Wheelhouse for open studio hours, guided art classes with experienced instructors, and cool events where they bloom out into the scenic outdoor space behind the facility. This is the place to find your own creative rhythm, whether you need a few hours of focused time in a colorful workspace or to find collaborators for ambitious projects. The day pass is always worth the price, and the access to art supplies, equipment, and expertise to use them well is a huge draw.

Truly such a great space for Bozeman- one of those hidden gem places that I swear if more people knew about they would be floored! Should definitely not be a “hidden” gem- I talk this space up to literally everyone. The ability to try out new art mediums, build community around creativity, and gather with local artists informally has been instrumental in my personal art journey in the last few years. I’ve attended a variety of diverse classes, used my punch card for working on solo projects, and most recently rented the space for a birthday party! The owners are so accommodating, professional, kind, and chill. I want to throw more parties here- it was so fun and easy!

This studio makes your art dreams come true! The owners are dedicated to helping you find what’s “in your wheelhouse” and takes the time to make sure you are successful! I even got to take home this beautiful glass piece from one of my favorite movies! Can’t wait to come back! AND SOME

I came here for a stained glass class, and was very impressed by the space. Vibes are great, studio is well stocked for drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpting and more. I've become a regular and thoroughly chatting and working alongside the owners. My new favorite third space!
