ArtChicks is a small, woman-owned business that focuses on producing the highest quality events for all types of crafters.

Relax • Rejuvenate • Inspire • Create

  • No time to work at home on your favorite project?

  • Want to meet people who love crafting as much as you do?

  • Lacking inspiration and need some “me” time?

    If this sounds familiar, then you need to become an ArtChick!

A little about the Chick in charge

Lori Stachnik, Founder

I have over 30 years experience in the special events & hospitality industry — producing events for 30 to 30,000. Since 2015, I have produced annual small-scale crafting retreats held in the Adirondack Region of New York State. In 2023, I offered ArtChicks to a broader audience and have been dedicated to giving my guests an unparalleled crafting experience.

I’ve been a passionate paper crafter since 1995. I enjoy card making, scrapbooking and all forms of altered art and art journaling. I love antiques and all things vintage and enjoy working this esthetic into my creative projects.

I invite you to join ArtChicks for our fabulous events where you will share your love of crafting with like-minded women and enjoy a wonderful respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I guarantee you’ll make lasting friendships and unforgettable memories!
