What Makes Our Art Classes Stand Out?

Structured Art Classes That Foster Creativity

Many art classes have structure, but prevent students from fostering their creativity. We don't want students to produce the same artwork! Our weekly two-hour classes are taught by our teachers in a structured environment.

  

Our teachers encourage students to be their most creative selves. The result? Each child's personality shines through their artwork.

Meeting Students at Their Level

We structure our classes around skill level — not age. We want students to grow as artists! We place students in classes that will appropriately challenge them.

Learning Skills That Go Beyond Art

Taking art classes helps students build their technical skills. We want our students to also learn life skills! In our classes, students will improve their decision-making skills, improve their focus, and build their persistence.

How to Register

Frequently Asked Questions

Our art classes are two hours long. Even for our youngest students, this time flies by! We help break up the class time with a short break after the first hour. 


We do not offer summer camps, but we do have a variety of summer art programs.


We offer after-school pickup on certain days, and provide pickup for some schools. Please contact our office via email for more information.


We care a lot about our students and their progress. We keep documentation of all their finished work in class. In each spring, we hold a group parent conference where we educate parents on what we've taught them through the year so far, and what's to come. You will get to see your child's work along with their peers' work.


We welcome new enrollments at any point in the year. We currently only offer in-person art classes.


Please reach out to our office and we can assist you with temporarily stopping your child's registration.


We understand that unexpected things can happen in life. If you miss a class, you can report an absence and schedule a makeup for any day and time, as long as the makeup class is for your child's level, during the same absent semester. You can report absences and schedule makeups by logging into your account. 


Log into your account and go to Request Schedule Change/ Class Schedule Request. We cannot guarantee that a seat will be available by the time we get to your request as students enroll and make class changes all the time. Once the office updates your request, you will receive an automated email regarding the status of your request.
