About
The Rainbow is an art studio and experience space located right next to the North Park sign in a rad historic building. We host art-hearted experiences for humans of all ages. Our hope while we’re here is to be an active member of the community, a space for creation, and to share as much color as possible.
About The Rainbow.
Nicole Zappala is an artist, experience designer and the creator of The Rainbow. Nicole reconnected with her inner artist back in 2018. After taking local classes and exploring in her community the art scene in SD, she set off in search of studio/experience space…… and with a twist of serendipity, manifestation and the luck of friendship, The Rainbow was born. Read all about Vacancy to Vibrancy, the concept that makes The Rainbow’s prime time location possible, here.
Nicole’s colorful history of community building, experience design, and creation have played a heavy hand in the fabric that makes up The Rainbow. She values play, curiosity, access and detail.
Nicole creates in a variety of mediums, including experience and wearable art, and abstract with a healthy does of neon. For available works or commissions, explore her Instagram or drop her a note.
Nicole is very lucky to call Mara Altman a very close friend and partner in creation. Mara is a writer, super fan of clay and tinker-er to the max. She and Nicole host MAKE, The Rainbow’s monthly adult creation experience and love making space for weirdo ideas, loud laughs, and creation of all kinds. Check out her Instagram and keep an eye on our events page for upcoming MAKEs.

In short, it depends. We think of our Events as Experiences and try to make them unique and impactful. We work with people we vibe with and who we are inspired by. Please contact us to share what’s on your mind.

A canvas collab is when a group of people (family, friends, colleagues) come into our space to co create a big piece of art together. These experiences are customized, all-age appropriate and amazingly fun. Contact us for details and pricing.

That is the question isn’t it? We expect to be in our current location through at least the middle of 2025. We’ll keep our community updated as we know more.
