The Art of Bold Beginnings

Dazzle & Daggers Design Joins the Collective & What’s Next!

As the air turns crisp and the leaves start to turn, ACI is buzzing with new ideas, collaborations, and a touch of sparkle. Autumn has always been a season of transformation — and this year, it brings with it a fresh creative force and exciting events on the horizon.

✨ Welcoming Dazzle & Daggers Design

We’re thrilled to officially welcome Krystle Dullas and her studio Dazzle & Daggers Design to the Art Collective International family! Known for her bold Kawaii-inspired artwork, playful watercolor pieces, and textured creations, Krystle brings an unforgettable blend of chaos and charm to ACI.

Her work is unapologetically vibrant — full of cute colors, clever phrases, and feisty personality. As ACI’s Chief Marketing Officer, Krystle has already been the driving force behind many of our market opportunities this year. If you’ve seen our lineup growing or caught wind of a new event we’re in, chances are she’s behind it.

You’ll spot Dazzle & Daggers at upcoming events — bright, cheeky, and impossible to miss.


🎪 Upcoming Markets & Events

Our fall and winter calendar is packed with creative energy, community connection, and plenty of opportunities to meet the artists behind each studio. Keep an eye out for ACI at:

  • 🍂 Tip O’ the Season Market – A festive showcase of local artisans, handmade gifts, and holiday magic.

  • ❄️ Merry Market – Our winter highlight event filled with art, warmth, and good cheer.

For more information on our future events, check out our upcoming events page

You’ll find Lee Hansheng Studios, Chris Foster Design, Storm Garden Studio, and now Dazzle & Daggers Design all sharing space, ideas, and laughter~ with collections ranging from fine art and jewelry to prints, stickers, and resin miniatures.


🌙 Looking Ahead

As we move toward the close of the year, we’re reminded that creativity thrives when shared. Every piece of art, every conversation, and every event is a reminder of why we built this collective~ to create intentionally, connect deeply, and make art accessible without losing its heart.

We can’t wait to see you at the markets, hear your stories, and share what’s next as we head into a new season of growth.


When words fail, art bridges the silence.
