Art & Soul - Art Classes Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Jeniece hosted a paint and sip event I did for my corporate team at Art + Soul. The process was incredibly smooth and easy -- we set up the event over email, she sent over a link for checkout, and we were good to go. She was incredibly flexible with scheduling and working with me on the event planning. The location was easy to get to in Newport and the studio itself had the perfect amount of space for my group of 7 people. Be aware that you will have to pay for parking, but it's relatively inexpensive and done via app. During the event itself, Jeniece was patient and made jokes which we were very grateful for given that many of us hadn't painted or attempted visual art since high school. She provided the final product options and we voted on which we'd all complete. She was very attentive in the lesson -- she both demonstrated and walked around the class to see how we were progressing. She was incredibly positive with her feedback. I would recommend Jeniece and Art + Soul to anyone doing a work team event. Her flexibility and positivity were exactly what we needed! read more

My girlfriends planned a cute day for my engagement party which included art and soul! By far one of the best places to be with girlfriends and get the creative side out! It was so fun and they helped make us feel welcome and ease any tension that we may have had ( i suck at painting)! It was a perfect girls day and we all felt taken care of and cared for! Plus they were beyond accommodating! Absolutely will be back! read more

Hosted our daughters 5 year old birthday party here and it was so fabulous! Ms Alisa kept their attention, we had space for the parents to hang out, and all the kids enjoyed their time. Communication ahead of time was easy and the studio suggested a few theme ideas- we decided to have them focus on painting but I know the do other art mediums. We were impressed with everyone's paintings! read more

This is the perfect venue for a kids birthday party. The art studio has an indoor and outdoor area which has more than enough room to accommodate a group of 12 girls.

We love this little gem in Newport Beach! It has been such a great place for home school kid art classes! They accept several charters. We have so enjoyed adding it to our curriculum! It is also great for adult art classes and classes to do with your kids! I have had so much fun venturing out and learning how to do macrame, calligraphy, and making collages with a soldering iron. They offer such a fun variety of classes! We even did my son's birthday party here and they went above and beyond to make his birthday special! read more

This is the happiest art studio filled with lots of heart and amazing teachers that TRULY care! Highly recommend

We just held my daughter's 13 birthday party at Art & Soul Collective. It was the most amazing night! We had ten 13-year-old girls for a journal making class. Some of the girls are naturally artistic and some are not, but the class was perfect for all levels. Bronwen was a fantastic instructor and super patient in walking us through each step. The girls got to pick their own paper covers, and weave together the binding on the journals, personalize and decorate them. It was nice for them to have a special piece to take home. And I loved trying to pour into each of them and see their personalities come out in how they decorated and designed their journals. A truly a soul filling-birthday for my girl and her friends! read more

Our husband/wife life group had a blast recently at Art+Soul over lunch and painted oranges and artichokes. The guys had just as much fun as us ladies (if not more!) and while some of us were way too slow and didn't finish, our time with Jeniece (who is adorable, by the way) inspired and encouraged us to continue on at home. Highly recommend this wonderful nook on Lido! read more

My four year old just started taking classes here and several good friends recommended it. She loves, loves, loves it and said she wants to take classes here forever. She makes the cutest projects and has a blast. The best is that it's a drop off class and my daughter was completely comfortable being left from the first lesson! read more

THIS is my happy place. I've recently started going to this lovely studio and it has added so much joy to my life. I was scared to make art because I thought I was totally talentless. Bronwen's inspired and knowledgeable teaching coaxed some things out of me that I am so very proud of....from ladies nights to craft workshops, I've enjoyed making clay objects, printmaking and jewelry that gets me compliments everywhere I go. Best of all, my sweet 8 year old is having the best time at their summer camps! Cheers to a lovely space and amazing artists like Bronwen that help us create beauty! read more

This art studio is just amazing. Both of my kids have taken multiple classes here and each time they come home with an even greater love for art. I can't say enough good things about the whole team! read more

I have attended multiple classes now at Art + Soul Collective and I always have such a fun time!! The monthly Sip & Sketch is one of my favorites...and I love how this studio has various artists come by the studio and teach their own classes.

Can't wait to attend more classes in the future :) Everyone should attend a class at this studio!!!!!!!! read more

I had the pleasure of attending a sketching class as a birthday gift from a friend. Leslie was so sweet and kind and gave great feedback to my misshapen drawings. While there for that class I saw the flier for a mother daughter class. My daughter and I ended up doing the mother/daughter ceramic pumpkin class in the fall. We LOVED it and were treated SO well. This place goes above and beyond in their hospitality, skills, and feedback. We will definitely go back! read more

I am a mama of three little kids and in need of self care. I signed up for a linocut class and had the best time. My art piece turned out so cute and I had the best time in the studio. The owner Leslie Vance greeted me with a hug and was so kind and accommodating. Her daughter taught the class and was so helpful. I will absolutely be back! read more

Wow what a wonderful place to create! Art + Soul Collective is a light and bright studio offering many different types of art for all ages. I had the opportunity to attend a "Girls Night" hosted at the studio. Bronwen lead the class and helped us all unlock our creativity. Looking forward to my whole family spending some more time in the studio soon! read more

This art studio has been such a great find for our family. My 8yo has taken multiple classes here and they have been the highlights of her year.

If you are close by, you should definitely check out their schedule, there is something for everyone! read more

A group of us booked an evening paint and sip class with Sima and had the best time ever! I had been to several similar classes but this one was by far the best!! One, the studio is quaint and adorable. Two, the subject was a beautiful Monet(not some metallic, neon calypso hat collection that would never make it passed my front door). Three, Sima, our instructor, was this adorable art student who encouraged us, made us feel capable and created a really fun evening for us! Can't wait to go back! read more

Art and soul collective has a bright and welcoming atmosphere. Bronwen and Leslie make all feel welcome and valued- from my six year old child to my middle age self. I have been doing the art exploration class and have found the freedom to create and explore art and challenge my firmly held feeling that I have no artistic ability. I look forward to every class and learning about mediums I would never think to explore. Tonight I took calligraphy and LOVED it. My kids love open studio. Truly this place is a gem- a chance to step away from busyness in life and explore, create, and rediscover beauty. read more

This small, intimate art studio has opened up my creative center in a way I did not think possible. I attribute this to the teaching excellence and ability to put the mind at rest- no pressure, lots of encouragement, and, it is just plain FUN! read more
