The process of onboarding has been very pleasant and the school has been very helpful. The location and campus is beautiful. The freshman dorms can use a little tender loving care to improve the appearance but not enough to deduct considering all of the other amazing qualities such as the staff and student leaders. It is very apparent that this school cares greatly about their students and offers many services to help them.

John recently visited the area and spotted the Pottery Lot and made a mental note to stop in when…read morewe made our trip in November- wow! I love the space! Bright storefront for ceramic artists and I was so enamored with looking at all the different artistic styles I initially missed that it was also a working studio space! Wheels behind the checkout counter, a kiln room and more. I picked a treasure to take home and chatted with the young woman who rung me up. I asked if she made pottery and she did- we ended up trading some art! My fav for connecting to other artists. I cannot wait to be up in this area again to explore The Pottery Lot again!

We love…read moreHCPAA for the opportunities available for our daughter, performing at carowinds, martinsville speedway, multiple competitions across the Carolinas, etc, and the attention to detail in classes. Ms Suzanne carefully builds each class/dance choreography- with specific attention to performance quality, technique, costume design- every detail down to the hairstyle- the perfect formula to set my daughter up for success. Not only is she learning how to perform on stage, but what to expect within herself during every class- character building that will stay with her long beyond HCPAA.

At a loss for any kind of meaningful gift without personal access to N95 masks and other PPEs, I decided to restock her art supplies. Maybe this old love would give a little light. I combed online options to avoid stores and post office. Then I thought to support a local business in my daughter's chosen community. Art Mart & Academy is just minutes from her home. The store was not officially open, but the owner responded to my email. John talked with me at length about what I was looking for, texted me photos and was very helpful in matching the types and quality of products I'd selected online. Though he had no gift bags, he managed to find a sweet way to package all the items then texted me a photo to see if "the presentation" was ok. He also kept the required social distance from my son-in-law during pick-up. He kept a sense of humor, too. Art is a good thing to do in COVID-times. John will help you start or get better. Art Mart and Academy has customer service and the goods!
