A friend recommended this place to me and told me she found it through a deal on Groupon. I…read morepurchased the same deal which gave me two 90 min classes for 2 kids for $85. The original price is $176. You have to call to schedule the classes with her. The owner was a sweet lady named Yuko. She said doesn't allow parents to stay so I just dropped my kids off and went to run errands. I came back to pick them up and was surprised to find that they made such amazing art pieces! The nicest I've ever seen them do. I'm not sure how much help they got but they said that they did it themselves with some guidance I'm sure. I'm happy with their artwork and want to actually frame and put them up on the wall. I enjoyed my 90 mins of free time and was so glad that they had a good time and even wanted to return. If your child likes art, I would recommend giving this place a try.

SPLAT Action Art Studio is a great creative spot in South Pasadena…read more Parking was easy with free parking available, plus additional parking in the back, which is always a big plus for families. Before the class starts, the instructor gives a clear demo, and throughout the session, there are screens showing techniques step-by-step, so kids can comfortably follow along and adapt at their own pace. Nothing feels difficult or intimidating. The instructor quietly walks around, making sure each child has what they need and offering support without interrupting their creative flow. They're attentive, calm, and truly professional. The pricing is a bit on the higher side, but totally worth it for the quality of instruction and support. Check for promotions or deals. Overall, it's a relaxed, well-organized space where kids can enjoy creating freely and parents can feel at ease. We had such a great experience and would definitely come back

Came here for a birthday party. It is a cool little art studio, where the kids are able to make a…read morepainting. However, there really is not any instruction going on here. They spend about 5 minutes going over some rules, and then it's just up to the kids to throw paint on the canvas. As expected, most kids put way too much paint on, so it ends up just being a dirty color blob of paint on the canvas. I wish that they spent a few minutes giving the kids ideas on what to do and tips for what looks good. However, there was none of that....

She was a fantastic art guide for the children- she encouraged collaboration and open thinking, joy and whimsy! Love how the class was all about connection and process rather than cookie cutter pieces. Looking forward to taking a class there myself for me and my friends. They offer lots of interesting classes and workshops too. A true community gem! Thank you, Hive!

Located off S. Raymond Ave in Pasadena. Came to see the Cruising J-Town exhibit. For this…read moreparticular exhibit it is for a limited time till mid November. The exhibit is free. Also there is a lot across from the Art building that is free as well. Upon entering check in with the security log your name and time and they will give a name tag for the exhibit. It is not a big exhibit at but lots to see especially all the culture and influences which make what J-Town in LA was all about back in the day during the Nisei Week festivities and the history of the cultural and what cruising was all about. Overall a very nice put together exhibit and brings back lots of memories of Nisei Week and cruising the Obon carnivals all leading up to the big Nisei Obon carnival cruise. It was also nice to see a friend's car displayed at the exhibit Tod's Datsun 510.

This review is strictly about the student artwork and exhibitions at the school. Came here for an…read moreexhibition of algorithms. Quite small so when I asked if there were more to see, I was led to the transportation design area. Both were quite small but interesting. Then I asked a random student if there were more art displays and that's when I hit the jackpot! He was gracious enough to take me on a guided tour of the campus to see illustrations and paintings from other student artists. Huge shout out to him if he ever reads this review for being so kind to take me around, a random stranger helping another stranger. I've been to many art galleries and museums all over the world and was really impressed. Students here are super talented and I applaud your work and passion to pursue your talents. He had key card access to all the floors so if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to see much. Was told that they do have public displays where you could purchase them. Free parking on campus and the exhibits close at 8pm. I had a fantastic time! Didn't take pictures of the student artwork since they were not for public display.

The highlight of her day is going to art class with Lauren - this is not an exaggeration. At pickup the other day, she said, "Mom, I belong there". I mean - it doesn't get better than that. They really see my daughter and fully support her creativity. The classes are small, the studio is convenient, bright and lovely (parking is easy! Always a plus for parents) and the teachers are tremendous. They are the best - ten million stars.
