ARThaus is a creative partnership between A.B. Art and Kim Needham. Our vision is to create community through art and events that are infused with a sense of purpose and magic.

A.B. is an artist and performer with a background in teaching, performing, and running bars/restaurants. This mix of creativity, personality, and business savvy makes them a good fit for projects that entail live performance (public speaking, teaching/training, spoken word, and storytelling) and visual arts (illustration, comics, collage, and murals). As far as day jobs go, they work for John A. Logan College as a public speaking instructor and moonlight as a bartender and performer. For academic information see my C.V.

Kim is a creative professional with extensive experience in photography, sales/marketing, and nonprofit organizing/fundraising. Their creative eye and their tremendous organizational skills make them an asset for projects that need photography (studio shoots, on location shoots, live events), event planning (large community projects involving vendors/performers/etc, and private events), creative merchandise (promotional products, custom creations, they’re a magic idea machine).

While we are always down for individual creative projects, its our favorite thing to work on projects together!
