The Art Center is truly a hidden gem for creativity and learning in our community. Whether you're a…read morechild exploring art for the first time or an adult looking to refine your skills, there's something here for everyone. I originally stopped by in search of pottery classes--and was delighted to find not only that they offer them, but also that a new session begins on October 13th. In addition, there's a Fall Break Art Camp for grades 2-5, where children will experiment with a range of media including watercolor, acrylics, and collage. As I walked through the space, I was able to watch artists at work and enjoy the current gallery exhibits on display. The atmosphere was inspiring and welcoming. Adult fall classes--running October 6th through December 13th--are also available, covering both visual and ceramic arts. Each class is taught by individual instructors, making it approachable for students of all levels. Best of all, online registration makes it simple to sign up. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that such a wonderful resource has been right in my neighborhood all along. It was a great experience, and I've already registered for pottery classes--something I'm really excited about! If you're looking for a place to explore your creative side, I highly recommend checking out the Art Center. Great value for 8 weeks art class at $280

Many of the students are planning to go back for the same week next summer. He learned how to make his own pieces and glaze them. I highly suggest checking this place out.

My son takes night classes here and loves it!…read more I found them by chance and immediately did some digging to discover more. Having taken many art classes myself I wanted to be sure that this was a good place to send my son for him to expand his love of art. I talked directly to the owner and felt good about it. I decided to try it and so far my son loves it! He does the extended class which is 1.5 hours long and not just the reg hour. At times I think he wishes it was longer... lol. The cost is reasonable but on the website they don't have a way to pay for the 6 months extended class and get the discount. I had to talk to the owners again and it was a bit messy getting that all taken care of. However it has been very worth it! I would sign my son up again in a heart beat. And will keep him going as long as he wants to go.

Her first piece of art that she brought home was a drawing of an old man and there was no story or pride from the work, she just shrugged. My 6-year-old LOVES art, I've never seen her be nonchalant about art so I pulled her out and she's in a different program now, thriving. She should be psyched about her work. This place might be great for older kids but I'd find something less prescriptive for the younger students.

Eugene is a good teacher! He makes my girl love piano! I would like to recommend him to everyone!read more

I recently took an 8-week "Intro to Drawing" class at Spruill and had a wonderful time! My…read moreinstructor was Thomas Key and I appreciated the way he organized the class. The pace was perfect and I never felt as though we were moving too fast. There were only 4 people in my Sunday afternoon class which allowed plenty of opportunities for him to walk around and help us individually. We also had opportunities to take little snack/bathroom breaks. The building is shared with the library and since that's closed on Sundays, there was usually ample parking. Sometimes there would be a children's performance in the theater near our studio but it was never really disruptive. Although sometimes, there would be less parking spots near the studio entrance on those days. I genuinely enjoyed taking this class at Spruill! I hope to take more classes here in the future and I even told my friends about it. The classes are reasonably priced for the quality of instruction that they offer, and there may be a few need-based scholarships available on their website. I believe there is a donation-based supply closet available to students who are currently enrolled in art classes, but the closet itself is only open during the week. Overall, I think Spruill is a great place hone any craft and I would love to take more classes in the future.

Chris is devoted to learning about art and passing his knowledge on to his students. I have been…read moreattending the class for two years. I have watched new students with no art background join the class and produce beautiful paintings. This is a serious class where you will learn how to both draw and paint. You will learn to hold each stroke accountable. You will learn to make choices that enable you to express your personal message as art. Along the way, you will learn to appreciate artists that you may have never discovered. This class is not easy but if you have a strong desire to make art, I highly recommend that you join. You will make art at a high level.

The teachers and staff truly know each child and work to meet them where they are academically. One of my daughters has faced some academic challenges, and the school has provided the right resources and support to ensure she stays on track with her classmates - all while helping her build confidence along the way. As a parent, I also appreciate how welcoming and involved the community is. There are so many opportunities to volunteer with varying time commitments so parents can be as engaged in a way that work for them. Most importantly, my girls love going to school. They're always excited to see their friends and teachers, and the sense of community extends beyond the classroom -- they play soccer and do gymnastics with many of their classmates, which has helped strengthen those friendships even more.

The center is one of the most beautiful man made creations I have seen in any city--with a blooming garden year round surrounded by a lake that reflects the colors of the trees and flowers.
