I had never heard of this place! We went for a friend's kid's birthday party and my 4yr old loved it!!! She was able to draw/color with paint, markers, oil colors. They have little aprons and washing stations and a section for the kids to eat food and the cake. They also broke a piñata outside. 10 out of 10!!! Wish I would have taken pictures but my hands were too busy and dirty LOL read more

Best place in town for art camp. Kids have been going 10 years. Couldn't recommend them more.

Nestled off of Naco and Broadway, this art studio is (hands down) the best place to take your children for art classes. The studio is filled with so much color and supplies, I wanted to sit down with David and take the class alongside with my kids. What is the best part about Art Works is this. If you can't make a regularly scheduled class, then buy the 10 pass punch card and go whenever! I keep my pass in my wallet so that when the kids are itching for something to do, I drop them off for the hour and half class. In that session, they painted, learned about Jackson Pollack, sculpted, drew pictures of wild animals and had an art show. What?? Meanwhile, I headed to HEB for my weekly shop and then read outside on the pretty deck under the trees. Best bang for the buck. I love this place. One caveat: I wish it were for adults, too. read more

The girls that were taking care of the party were as fun as .... NOT. Talking to 5 years old like the were 12. So much information that the kids were looking them like "what". There were standing with hands cross. and not helping the kids. The idea and the plan executed well can be and it was fun regardless but if the hostess were happy and helpful would have taken the party to another level. Why my personal view of the party is being discussed with the Mom? It is my personal view of how the hostess managed. Not how the party went. So for bothering people who book the party u get 1 star. read more

My daughter had an amazing time at this studio. She didn't want to leave. The girl working the party was really nice and gave us a lot of info about other classes as well. read more

Had a birthday party here and let me tell you, it was hands-down the most stress-free, low-chaos birthday we have thrown. Super easy to book, first of all. Had to make a date change and they were accommodating. My child was able to choose which art stations would be included in the party. Then 12 days prior to the party I got an email from Artworks with a list of suggested items to bring. I couldn't mess it up! The activities kept the kids engaged and parents didn't have to play chase they entire party, unlike the pizza/arcade joints. Staff handled the serving of cake and ice cream making that easy peasy so I could just enjoy. Highly recommend for children's birthday parties! read more

GGRRRREAT place for a birthday party, all kids enjoyed and there are more than 20 activities to pick from. Reasonably priced as well, overall great experience! read more

We came for a Tuesday evening "open art" session. Both my 3 year old and 5 year old had a great time. Several different types of art stations were available for them to explore. Ms. Lisa was very friendly and gave us a thorough explanation of how each station works. Then the kids were set free to create whatever they liked. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed. We'll definitely be back. read more

Artworks Art Studio - Working at the Centrifugal Art Station - Art Classes Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

See all

I would NOT RECOMMEND having a kids party here. We attended a party for a three year and it was one of the worst managed parties I've ever attended. The two staff waited almost 15 mins for kids to arrive, fussing at the kids who wanted to start working on all the stations that were set up. The kids ranged from 2-7 and they spent 15 mins explaining over 10 "stations". The tables were too high and most of the younger kids couldn't reach. The staff were very rude and micromanaged the adults and kids, telling them they could only wash their hands once and could only use one paper towel. They did not seem to adapt at all to the younger crowd, and the fact that the party was for a 3 year old. Once they explained the stations, they were disengaged except to clean up and tell the kids to not go into the back room. The main lady running the party was rude to the parents and ran the snacks/cupcakes part of the party the way she wanted and not what the parents of the party girl wanted. She actually took down the set up of cupcakes that the mother had spent time putting out without asking her and then forgot to get the ice cream back out. It really was so poorly done and the attitudes of the ladies with the parents and kids was almost unbelievable. read more

Awesome every time. My daughter has been going to Art Works for over a year. She always looks forward to going, always has a great time, and always creates great works of art! Lisa has set up a great space for budding artists to explore and build confidence in their art skills and social skills, too. She has a knack for working with kids who might be "behavior problems" in other settings; she knows how to keep many kids occupied and inspired all at once! Impressive! I love the hours of the camps and different classes. Artworks caters to the busy schedules of parents just as much as they cater to the wild imaginations and high energy of kids. Thank you, Artworks, for all you do for the community and for my family! :) read more

This is the best studio for children. My daughter absolutely loves coming to camp here and her art skills are improving. Highly recommend!

This is such a great place for children to have fun and let their creative side run wild! My daughter absolutely loved open art night we stayed for 3hrs and she still wanted to stay longer. There were several stations set up each with it's own unique way of doing art.We also did a tye dye shirt while we were there.This is definitely the place to go and get your hands dirty with paint,glue, paper, markers, and so much more without worrying about the mess.They also offer week long camps which we will definitely be signing up for. read more

Artworks is an amazing place to bring you child for art classes, open art, adult painting parties, parents night out, summer camps, and birthday parties. It is the type of place where children get to play and learn as well as expand their creative minds. There is structure and guidelines as well as open ended-ness to the classes. Summer camps are jammed pack full of amazing art projects. Parents night out is a great way for parents to get a night off and your children to not just be put in front of a TV by a sitter. Artworks is an asset to the local community that every family should take advantage of for the young aspiring artist or someone who is just getting started read more

I really enjoyed going to a birthday party there. It felt relaxed, my child had a lot of fun and so did I, seeing her so happy. The environment is easy going, just right for creating art. I look forward to enrolling my daughter for half day classes on Spring Break. read more

I have an almost 17 year old son who spent many afternoons doing open art @ the Nacodogches location as well as holding his best birthday party ever there. A great place for kids of all ages. I recently moved back to San Antonio and am the lucky nanny of a little buddy who will get to check out the Midland location next week. Can't wait! read more

I had a birthday party at Artwork expecting it was going to be a great experience. However, there were several problems. One the air condtioning. They had debri and water was falling from ceiling where the children were supposed to be doing art and it was hot. When I called to complain Chris said that it just happened before the party and he couldn't give me notice to cancel. In San Antonio weather you do not want a hot party. Second problem Staff did not do what they were asked. I asked them to take out an overflowing trash can so guests could throw away trash. He said He would bring another one out. Which he did 20 minutes later. I asked them to open the playdough room but he never opened it. I asked him 3 times. I think he just didn't want to clean up afterwards. When we left we were not offered our birthday daughters art. When I called they said it was my responsiblitly. The record player art station is broken it doesn't turn. Now if you go to the other location in San Antonio thier record player works. I had around 20 people at party both adults and children and there was just standing room. Very crampt and tight spaced. Basically Chris and the other college kid working there were highly unprofessionally chatting to each other and flirting instead of helping with the party. I did not tip them because they were annoyed anytime I asked for help. I think it is false advertisment that on the website it clearly states they give you two very helpful workers because I did not get any help. This was a terrible experience and would definately not do it again at the Nacodoches location. The ower was out of town when I called to complain and will not be back in town for 3 weeks. read more

I attended a birthday party for my great niece at the Nacogdoches location and a great time was had by all. I highly recommend this place. The Carousel Court atmosphere is awesome, there is a picnic table under a big oak tree that some of us escaped to while the kids were having fun. I overheard several of the kids tell their parents on the way out that the birthday party was sooooo fun that they want their party there too. You can't get a better recommendation then that. The party was well organized and the kids were proud of their artwork that they got to take home with them, my thought was how clever my niece was to pick this place, walk in have a party and leave, no mess no fuss! read more
