The talent of our students never ceases to amaze me. These three beauties were done in less than one class session.

Happy Mother's Day from art / work / place!
On behalf of all of us, Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers out there who work so hard to make our lives better. Thanks, Mom!
Need an alternative to a weeklong Summer camp?
Enroll in our weekly classes instead!
Some students may be too young for such a long camp, or maybe you'd rather have your kids home with you. Either way, we have a solution for you.
In addition to our Summer Art Intensives, we will be continuing to offer our regular schedule of once-a-week classes. Our classes are held from Tuesdays to Saturdays, with many class times available. We also have a very flexible make up policy, so you can be assured that our schedule will always fit your schedule.
Enrollment is ongoing, so you can sign up anytime.
Mini Makers
Little ones can be artists, too! And they should!
Arts education is so important for the development of the whole child, so we get them started early at art / work / place. Children as young as 3 are able to create beautiful pieces of art.
Our Mini Makers class for ages 3 to 5 combines artistic instruction that introduces the Mini Makers to a variety of new materials along with a new book to be inspired by every week!
How do we keep them engaged for 90 minutes? We tailor the projects to their specific interests, whether it is painting, building, or making collages, and we let them have fun!
Classes are available Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings. Schedule an Introductory Lesson for your Mini Maker today!
Surprises are in the making!
We always have something fun in the works here at art / work / place! What fun things are these little artists creating? Check back in a few days to find out!
Have fun while you learn at one of our Summer Art Intensives!
As arts programs continue to be cut from schools, children may be losing out on the many benefits of arts education. Creativity is known to be an important factor in success, and it’s a great idea to get kids started early. Drawing and painting are particularly beneficial, and not only when it comes to making art. It can also enhance your ability to later understand difficult concepts such as geography and math.
Our Summer Art Intensives are a great opportunity for students to learn art in a special way, in a setting where they will be around like-minded peers who share their interests, and instructors who will give them the individual attention and care that they deserve.
For parents, feel great about keeping your kids learning and working while they are out of school. For kids, grab this chance to make new friends, boost your confidence, and have fun while you learn!
It's not supposed to be perfect. It's supposed to be yours.
One of the most common things that I hear from a parent who is interested in scheduling an Introductory Lesson for their child sounds something similar to this: "My child really enjoys drawing, but I don't really know if he's that good."
What makes art good? You do, just you. Making and enjoying art is not about being perfect. It's about being perfectly you. So what if the flower that you just drew doesn't look exactly like the flower outside your window? That flower is already doing a great job of looking like itself, so allow yourself the freedom to let your drawing look like your vision of that flower.
The piece below on the left is a perfect example. What a beautiful interpretation done by one of our students.
