Welcome to Dream Canvas AI Gallery & Academy, the first space of its kind in Red Bank, New Jersey — a short train or ferry ride from New York City and just minutes from the new Netflix Studios.
At Dream Canvas AI Gallery & Academy, our mission is to humanize AI by making it approachable, creative, and collaborative. We believe in the power of face-to-face learning and connection—providing comfort, confidence, and inspiration for small business owners, artists, and lifelong learners. By blending technology with traditional artistry, we create a supportive community where people explore AI not as something intimidating, but as a tool to create, connect, and thrive.
We uphold the highest standards in both art and AI education. Every program, workshop, and exhibit is designed to give our community confidence, clarity, and real-world skills they can trust.
We honor imagination as the heart of progress. By blending traditional artistry with AI innovation, we empower people of all ages to explore self-expression, storytelling, and new possibilities—without fear or intimidation.
We are a hub of discovery. By staying current with the latest AI tools and practices, we help artists, small business owners, and lifelong learners not only keep pace with change but also shape the future with confidence.
We believe learning and creating are best done together. Dream Canvas is a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment where diverse voices connect, collaborate, and thrive—whether in the classroom, on the walls, or across the globe.
Maribeth Woodford is a Top 100 AI Creator on LinkedIn (Fashion) and an award-winning AI artist. After experiencing a corporate layoff—believed to be tied to AI replacement—she redirected her path and built Dream Canvas from the ground up.
For the last 2.5 years, she has been deeply immersed in the world of AI creativity, shaping her practice and voice as both an artist and educator. Drawing on the non-intimidating philosophy she once championed as owner of SUKHA Yoga Studio, Maribeth now brings that same welcoming spirit to the Dream Canvas AI Gallery & Academy.
By merging innovation with compassion, she has created a space where AI art is celebrated on gallery walls and learners of all ages can explore AI face-to-face in a supportive, inspiring environment. Her work has been showcased internationally, and she is a recognized voice in the AI creative space, having spoken at institutions ranging from Microsoft’s Founderz to the University of South Florida.
Dream Canvas AI Gallery & Academy was born from a simple belief: AI doesn’t have to feel intimidating. After experiencing firsthand how technology can displace people, founder Maribeth Woodford set out to create a place where AI feels approachable, human, and inspiring. Blending her background in building non-intimidating spaces with her 2.5 years in the AI creative world, Dream Canvas exists to provide comfort, confidence, and creativity through face-to-face learning and hands-on exploration.
We showcase AI-generated art alongside traditional works from local and global creators. From curated exhibitions to open calls, our gallery walls celebrate diversity in creativity.
We offer face-to-face and virtual courses led by renowned AI innovators, educators, and artists from around the world; AI for beginners and for businesses, and beyond.
Our space also hosts artist showcases, networking events, and creative collaborations, ensuring that both AI and traditional artists have a stage to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
