In January of 2024 WonderStump! took over coordination of the city-wide collaborative effort of artists and arts organizations in downtown Petaluma. Arts Alive connects and promotes Petaluma’s vibrant arts community by offering free workshops, performances, artist talks and more on the third Thursday of every month. In addition to organizing, WonderStump! offers interactive artsy delights each month in their Petaluma studio.

WonderStump! produced the audio, visual, and ambient artworks for Life On Art’s Winter Solstice celebration, featuring local new wave/progressive pop troubadours Pardon The Interruption

WonderStump! Studio

133 Copeland St., Petaluma

Why buy when you can DIY??! WonderStump! taught workshop party peeps to craft loving gifts for their friends and family to cherish for as long as they need light and keys. David Noble of Pardon The Interruption took the Stump Stage to keep everyone rockin’ in their seats!

WonderStump! Helped to coordinate the event and sold their handcrafted wares at a special Arts Alive artists market, hosted by Life On Art. Delightful treasures and great connections took center stage as Arts Alive hosts gathered in one location to celebrate Petaluma’s vibrant art scene!

WonderStump! returned to Rivertown Revival as featured artists in 2023. This time they created a single-person room, accessible through a mysterious freestanding green door, where passersby could type their deepest secrets on a typewriter and add them to the web of revelations inside. Part portal, part confessional, part voyeuristic delight— “Under Wraps” is a piece that continues to grow and evolve.

Bay Area band Pardon The Interruption loves Halloween, and so does WonderStump! PTI rocked the yard with their sweet sound, WS vibed it up with spooky sculptural decor and lighting, and the kraken guarded the drinks!

The first ever Arts Alive event! Rocket! Theater troupe! Grand Central Petaluma!

WonderStump! partnered up with Natalie, actor and proprietor of Grand Central Petaluma Coffee & Empanadas & Chocolate Shop to present an improv performance in and around The Rocket. Good fun was had by all!

WonderStump! blasted to Rivertown Revival with the debut of their steampunk rocket and parasol tree! Not only was it an interactive sculpture that allowed viewers to step inside for rockety porthole photos, but around back it was also an interactive community chalkboard and multi-artist bazaar. Dubbed “Captain Bowie’s Micro Mercantile,” this multifaceted sculpture was a huge crowd pleaser! Especially in the Petaluma summer heat…sharing our parasols with shade-seeking festival goers!
