Featured Success Story: Ann L.
"After discussing with my parents before 9th grade, I decided to use art as my extra curriculum. Art has helped me stand out from my peers in college applications. My MIT interviewer told me, 'Everyone in MIT has something special. For you, art is the thing.' I am so glad that I didn't quit."

" This art school is professional, impressive and fantastic at communicating information to parents. I was blown away by how much my 10yo improved class to class. They teach specific techniques in a structured way but allow the child to be the source of creativity. Re-scheduling missed classes is very easy. The number of US Arts Students who win art contests is stunning. I highly recommend this school. The teaching they provide is worth every penny." - Stephenie S.
" When my daughter entered high school, we struggled to find an art program in Maryland that would not only allow her to further develop her skills but also support her in preparing for college applications. Then we discovered The Us Art Center. She loved it so much that she began spending eight hours every weekend drawing there. The program offers many unique aspects: a comprehensive curriculum, an excellent portfolio program, opportunities for competitions, parent conferences, teacher exhibitions, and gallery displays for students. We are incredibly grateful to the director, teachers, and staff for all their support. Thank you very much." - Y H

Reviews from Students
" I’ve been taking classes at the US Arts Center for 5 years. All of my teachers have been so helpful in teaching me technical and conceptual skills in a variety of media. They have always pushed me to create pieces outside my comfort zone, while also making sure my pieces were enjoyable to me. From taking classes at US Arts, I have gained so much more passion and confidence in my work, and I realized art was something I wanted to pursue in college." - Caitlyn K.
" I started taking courses at US Arts since the fifth grade, and as a current high school senior, I look back and sincerely appreciate everything that US Arts has taught me in the past eight years. From helping me build a strong foundation in painting and colored pencil to helping me develop a college art portfolio, my journey as an artist would not have been the same without them. All the teachers and staff members are incredibly supportive and have consistently challenged me to push the boundaries of my creativity. As a result, I’ve become a more experimental and open minded person." - Lena S.
"I've attended US Arts ever since elementary school and have always looked towards attending class every week. Looking back, I really appreciate the support and guidance the teachers and staff have given over the years. I was always encouraged to be creative, explore different media, and try different art styles. As I improved, my teachers always knew how to challenge me to step into the next level."
- Andrew C.
"I went to US Arts for over 10 years and I believe that this place really allowed me to explore my interest in art. One thing that really puts US Arts over the rest is that they have small class sizes which gives all of the amazing teachers ample time to work with students." - Michael S.
"I've learned so much at my time at US Arts since 6th grade, and I'm extremely grateful for the advice and help I've received from my teachers there. The environment is incredibly supportive with the patience and dedication of the staff and instructors. In every class, my teachers have given valuable and detailed feedback on my work and on my ideas on new projects, which improved how I can express the themes in my artwork. "
