Weekly Art Classes

Taught by accomplished, professional artists

Our art classes are taught by elite team of fine art teachers who have earned at minimum a BFA degree. Many have an MFA in Art Education and a strong professional art practice background.

2 Hour Classes

Even for our youngest students, this time flies by! We help break up the class time with a short break after the first hour.

Long Term Discounts Available

Serious about practicing art long term? At your trial class, we can show you what discounts are available for registering for either a full school year or a whole year.

Class Structure & Tuition

Long Term Curriculum

We've created a strong 10-year curriculum to support our students from age 4 through senior year of high school. Adult students also benefit from our strong structure, which features projects with an even balance of building technical skill and fostering creativity.

Progress & Education Focused

We care a lot about our students and their progress. Upon enrollment, each student will have a profile in our database, where we keep documentation of all their finished work in class. In the 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 Meet Every Student's Level

Our classes are structured based on skill level--not age. While there tends to be a general age range for each level, we want to assure that each student is placed in a class that is appropriately challenging. We find out each student's skill level during their trial class.

Tuition Structure

Our tuition is based on skill level and the number of classes registered. Students may register at any point of the year, however, starting in early September is ideal to match the public school calendar.

We offer a starter package of 16 classes (~4months), which is a good way for your child to try our class before committing to a long-term registration.

Long term enrollments will push your term to either the end of the school year (38 classes total) or through the summer (47 classes total; this equals a full year from your first class).

When you come for a trial class, we can more easily show you what long term discounts you'll receive for extending to a longer term.

Flexible Schedule

We understand that unexpected things can happen in life. So, 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 our portal .

Rolling Admission

We welcome new enrollments to our art school at any point in the year. Please contact us to schedule your trial class! We currently only offer in-person art classes.

My question is not answered here, what should I do?
