    My daughters had an amazing time at camp . Their teachers were Ms. Anna who's is amazing at teaching the kids different techniques and shading! For my older daughter the teacher was Ms. Stephanie who was also amazing! This was such a cool experience !

    Ms Diane was fantastic during the summer program! The kids had the most magical time thinking outside the box and creating their own game :) highly recommend!

    Our daughter had an amazing week at CalColor art camp! The schedule worked well with drop off @ 8:45 to pick up 4:15. Ms Ana was wonderful, attentive and so kind. Highly recommend art camp. Will look into regular art classes during the academic year.

    Our kid just wrapped up her second summer camp session at this location. Last year we did one of the stop motion animation classes; this year we did the witches and wizards week. Lots of different, age-appropriate art techniques and skills are covered in each class. The classes are small and well-structured throughout the week, and at the end they showcase everything the kids worked on that week. Really nice summer camp, and we'll likely come

    Ms Diane was fantastic!! The kids loves art summer camp :) highly recommend if your kids are creative!

    Wizard hall and potions etc.

    A huge thank you to CalColor for an amazing Week 1 of summer camp! My son had so much fun and loved everything he created. The staff is fantastic, organized, and truly brings out the kids' creativity. We are so glad we signed him up and highly recommend their camps!

I will definitely be doing more paintings on my own in the near future!

    This is a very cool lil art studio owned by a wonderful person named CD…read more We had the opportunity to attend a couple family parties here and we decided to throw a birthday party here for our daughter's 6th Birthday. We inquired directly with CD for our date and time and she guided us thru the booking process. There was a last minute mixup but CD made every effort to offer us a successfull party....and CD definitely delivered. On the day of our party, we arrived early to a wonderful birthday party setup in the outdoor back patio, decorated nook and and an intimate upstairs studio for our party guests. To be honest, the setup she provided was exactly how we prefer. We were able to bring in and display our offerings for our guests and the parents enjoyed themselves hanging outside while the kids roamed around and enjoyed their painting session upstairs in the studio. CD and her team did an amazing job in making sure our party was a success! You can not go wrong when it comes to art and we were right to go with CD's Art Studio! I highly recommend her business to everybody.

    I wish I could give 0 stars. Do not send your kids to this camp…read more The owner is completely unprofessional and ill-equipped to run a camp for children. She said the teacher was on their way and I don't believe there is a teacher that actually showed up as she wasn't there at pick-up either. The doorknob is broken to the front door (which some reviews have mentioned in 2017). The 'outside play time' includes playing in the alleyway that is adjacent to a parking lot -safety is a huge concern. There are no toys provided for them to play outside - just a couple balls. My son's "art" was a bird box he painted - I don't know how they did this for 4 hours? This "art" was also not in any of the descriptions sent via email or found on Activity Hero. I wasted my money signing him up for 5 days, he only went the first day and didn't return.

I have gone to Open Studios in Campbell, Los Gatos, Sunnyvale, Los Altos, and Los Altos Hill. The variety of the arts on display is impressive. The purpose is twofold - one for the pure enjoyment; the other is to purchase art. I recall seeing paintings, photography, Gourds, jewelry, and more. Also, I enjoy talking to selected artists about their work. This year I purchased three photographs and one abstract watercolor painting. Last year I purchased two photographs. The prior two years, I just enjoyed the art without purchasing. Some of the displays are situated indoors, while others are in the front or in the rear of homes.

Signage was great on driving directions, I did pick up at map and pamphlet earlier in the week at CSMA but the yellow signs definately helped with finding the hidden studios. Great to see the artists and works at their studios, artists were very welcoming and wanted to talk to you about their art, many offered free snacks, parking can be a bit challenging at some venues. Some artists only show at this event and some studios are rarely open, so this was a treat. Still two more weekends in May that they are showing.

    I recently hosted a birthday party here, and unfortunately, the experience did not live up to our…read moreexpectations. For a venue that is more expensive than other options, the value simply isn't there. ​Here are the main issues we encountered: ​1) Strict "No Outside Food" Policy vs. Actual Food Provided: Their website explicitly discourages outside food, stating, "As our parties include plenty of food for the kiddos... outside food is unnecessary and discouraged." Because of this, we trusted them and didn't bring extra snacks. However, the actual food took quite a long time to prepare, and the only snack provided in the meantime was a single small bowl of pretzels per table. The kids were absolutely starving. When one table finished theirs, a staff member brought out more pretzels seeing they were hungry--only for him to find out after that they were strictly limited to one bowl, and the employee simply hadn't known the rule. When the other table ran out they weren't allowed to get extra pretzels! ​2) We paid an extra $37 for premixed lemonade (which tasted like a standard powder mix). The kids were restricted to just one small cup each. They were still thirsty afterward, but they were cut off from the lemonade and could only get tap water after that. ​3) This is a cooking environment where the kids are constantly using their hands to handle food. I fully expected the very first step of the party would be to make sure the kids washed their hands. Shockingly, not once did the staff line the kids up or instruct them to wash their hands before they started preparing and touching the ingredients. 4) We wanted to have an ice cream cake and they were unwilling to let us borrow freezer space for a small cake, stating that they did not have room. We know other cooking venues allow this and allowed an even bigger sheet cake. So were surprised that this cooking venue wouldn't have space in the freezer for a small ice cream cake. It was just an inconvenience as we had to go get the cake during the party. ​5) To top it off, the tip must be paid fully in advance.
