What I love most about Pratt is the instructors are not only unbelievably strong technical instructors but also amazing artists. I didn't just want to learn how to MIG weld, I also wanted to learn about creating a composed sculpture. That's exactly what I learned in Bill Baber's class. Pratt's facilities are top notch! Highly recommended!

They are patient with fundamentals but never kill the joy of creating. They know when to push for cleaner work, when to let a student experiment, and how to give critique that makes kids want to improve. Over the years they tailored projects to my daughter's interests, introduced new techniques at just the right time, and celebrated progress in a way that built real confidence. The studio feels like a second home to my daughter! After 7 years, my daughter doesn't just do art -- she thinks like an artist. We're so grateful. She loves it enough that she now helps out in the studio sometimes, which says it all. Thank you to Drawn2Art and the great teachers for making every class so fun and enjoyable.

We approached Drawn2Art for support with our 17‑year‑old son's AP Drawing portfolio, and the…read moreexperience has been exceptional. Even before enrolling, Emmett, the directors, and two teachers took the time to meet with us, learn about his ideas, and offer thoughtful guidance. Our son now works weekly with Tommy, and we've seen meaningful growth in both his technical skills and artistic voice. The class encourages independence, experimentation, and reflection, while Tommy provides insightful feedback and helps him stay organized with the demands of the AP portfolio. As the AP submission deadline approached, Tommy was especially supportive--offering ideas for themes, guiding him through the written components, and even sharing his own personal watercolor paints. The work our son is creating is something he's genuinely proud of, and he plans to continue even after the portfolio is submitted. As a parent, I also appreciate how flexible and supportive Emmett has been with scheduling. We've known Drawn2Art since our son was younger, and it's wonderful to see that same level of care carried into a more advanced, college‑level art experience. We highly recommend Drawn2Art for any student seeking serious artistic growth in a nurturing, supportive environment.

Soooo cool! My husband and I were SOOOO impressed by our experience with Smart with Art…read more I got a Living Social deal to use for my daughter's 6th birthday. As the party date got closer, we were slightly worried because it really could have gone either way. There was only one other review here on Yelp and that seemed different because it was at BAM, and this was going to be a party at the house. We did not know what to expect, and honestly I did not expect a lot. Kara and Eric were AMAZING! The kids were absolutely engaged and all of them loved the guided painting and drawing. They were fun, prepared, and professional. Kara had a great connection with the kids, and Eric was really attentive supporting her. My daughter chose a giraffe theme, and most of the kids went home with a recognizable giraffe in their own personal styles. They came with tables, individual easels, aprons, and all sorts of art supplies. Each child got to take their art pieces home in a bag with pretty tissue as the "goody bag" (which saved me tons of time and $! No cheap plastic doo-dads!) Be prepared though, because sometimes the guided painting ends sooner than anticipated (I can imagine every party is different based on the kids). Kara and Eric were able to do a second guided drawing with fun sparkly pens but there was a lull in the middle as they cleaned up the paint supplies and prepared for the drawing. There was about a ten minute time where kids need to be entertained, so maybe a small game for that time period could help the art teachers and keep the kids active and not just waiting for the next activity. I would in a heart beat do Smart with Art again. Thanks so much, guys!!!

Open Arts is a studio offering classes in drawing, pottery, sewing, voice, piano and guitar. Most…read moreclasses are for children/teens, but they do have a fair set of classes for adults as well. John, the director of Open Arts Studio, is a dynamic guy who is so charismatic...it's easy to envision him sitting at a piano, leading a bunch of people in song around a piano a la Cole Porter. He's the voice teacher and drawing teacher and he's great at both. Home schoolers note: they offer classes during the day for home school students! For me, one caveat is the price. It's not astronomical, but most classes are about $125 for a session, about 5 classes, and it adds up. I believe it's because of this that some classes aren't very full. On the up side, if you take more than one class, or have multiple children enrolled, you get a 10% discount. They hope to add cooking classes somewhere down the line. We are looking forward to the addition as I know my daughter would learn a lot because they are both organized and inspiring at Open Arts!
