Red Dot was opened in September 2004 by artists Scott Bennett and Dori DeCamillis. Now located in the               

Edgewood area of Homewood Red Dot is the working studio, gallery, and teaching space of Bennett and DeCamillis.

After 20 years of working and exhibiting separately all over the United States, the two national artists came  

together and opened their shared studio to public students. The result is a welcoming and creativity-enhancing 

educational environment for Birmingham.  

Red Dot offers painting, drawing, and pottery classes for adults, as well as art classes for children. Bennett and  

DeCamillis have sought to pass on their experience as artists by balancing the academic, technical, and  

conceptual  concerns of art-making with the (often) more important aspects of fun, relaxation, and social

interaction. As instructors, they try to pass on their own inspiration and experiences while tapping into the

student’s interest. Red Dot’s students range from beginners with no experience, to practicing artists with graduate

degrees in art.
