About Alma
Where the creatives are.
Atelier Alma
Miami has no shortage of places to go out. What it didn't have was a place where creative people actually find each other.
Atelier Alma is that place. An artist-led studio in Miami and Los Angeles where you come to make something with your hands, sip something good, and end up talking to the most interesting people in the room: designers, artists, stylists, founders, and the friends they bring along.
It's not a networking event. Nobody's handing out business cards. But somewhere between the clay and the second glass of wine, the connections happen on their own.
Better than scrolling. Better than another night at the club. This is where the cool people are.
The founder
Natalie Valencia is a Brazilian-American painter, ceramicist, and entrepreneur. She's been obsessed with art since she was young, studied at Pepperdine University in Malibu, and today works as a full-time artist across Miami, Los Angeles, and Europe, including artist residencies abroad.
She started Atelier Alma to bring Miami something it had never had: a creative studio with real artistic roots and a social pulse. Every class is taught by working artists and designed to feel like the best night of your week.
