The Program

Our goal is to awaken the artist within you...no matter what your age. We believe that with good instruction anyone can become a successful artist. Our year-round program allows you to register and start attending class at any time, as space permits. Students benefit most from classes when they attend class consistently.

Small Class Size

All classes are limited to 10 students to ensure quality learning and individual attention. Students have the opportunity to gain the ability to artistically express their ideas within small groups, respect their uniqueness, and discover appreciation for the work of others.

The Staff

Classes are taught by artists who usually have at least a college degree in Art and experience teaching children.  Some instructors also have a Masters in Education and are licensed teachers registered with the State of Oregon Education Department.  All studio assistants are art teachers, college students, or graduates. Our staff is chosen for their artistic and instructional professionalism, love of children, positive attitude, and motivation to nspire students. Most instructors are also certified in infant & child CPR, First Aid and Safety.
