My 5 year old wanted to have an art themed birthday party. I searched around and Hidden Talent got…read moregreat reviews. The staff was very nice and friendly. The studio is clean and easy to get to from our house. I had a couple of issues with the party. First, this was a group of 5 year olds and the teacher chose an art project that was super challenging. My son loved it but I think it could have been a little better chosen for the age group. Secondly, I think that there should be some sort of paper trail after I booked the party. Everything is done verbally. I wanted to pay for the upgraded package or at least thought I told the manager this but when it came time for the party we did not get the upgraded package. It was a bit confusing. Overall, it was a good experience. I would recommend this kind of birthday party to others.

To our surprise, in 3rd grade, my daughter's picture of an oak tree was selected to be the cover of…read morethe school yearbook. Wow!?! As parents, we'd always been impressed with her creativity, but now the world was giving us feedback reinforcing that it wasn't just silly parental pride. What to do? Somehow we came upon the great answer of taking weekly Father-Daughter art classes at Hidden Talent. We've been doing it for 2 years and my daughter and I just love it! The teachers at Hidden Talent are all very caring, talented, friendly, and genuinely interested in teaching the students. We've explored a variety of mediums, techniques, and materials in our projects. We spent last fall working on the human form - something really great for a 5th grader to begin to learn. Too bad we can't post pictures in this Yelp post! If your child is showing that creative spark and you want to foster it, nurture it, and help them really grown that talent, this is a fantastic opportunity. If you sign up for the parent-child class you'll gain triple benefits: each of you will stretch your artistic legs and you'll get that special weekly bonding time you and your child will remember the rest of your lives.

The work that children did there was beyond words - I couldn't do any of that what my 6 year olds did. Lana and Hala are both so attentive and sweet. I'm shocked to see on of the previous reviews about the racism. 90% of the students there are from Asia and they all treated equally, never ever I've seen any slightest indication of racism. Looks like someone got unhappy and decided to mess with them on Yelp. My kids are still asking when are they going back to art school and I start to consider to return despite the drive. Thank you so much Lana and Hala for all your hard work and for the memories that we'll have forever!

They were so engaged and happy the whole time. What I really loved was how the teachers made everything feel extra special. They're super fun and let the kids get creative without holding back. As an artist myself, I think every little one deserves teachers like Marina and Inessa. The only reason we haven't signed our daughter up for regular classes is because the timings clash with her schedule. Otherwise, we'd sign her up in a heartbeat. Highly recommend this place, 1000 percent

When we walked in, she prepared us a very nice appetizer and wine table with candles. All of us sat down for half an hour, drank wine and relaxed. She let us know when we should start the class. I already picked the theme for our bday celebration painting and Katiya helped us to draw it. It was so much fun. Such a personalized service in a great friendly atmosphere. We all had so much laugh, and came home with our beautiful paintings. She also made tea for us so we can drink with our bday cake which was the highlight of the night. Thank you Katiya for creating an incredible night for us. We decided to do this once month since it was pretty memorable.

In the past couple months, it's been neat to see her improvement in spatial perspective, shading, etc. When a finished project comes home, I enjoy her explanation of motivation and techniques - like other Yelpers have said, too bad I don't have the wall-space needed to display everything!

While it was fun, the works we saw were not much different from my girls could do on their own. Last year we discovered this art studio and from the very first drawing, we are amazed every time we see a new creation. The girls are really improving, and are taking their skills and use them at school too to get accolades from teachers and friends. We like that the class is 1.5 hours, enough time to run errands or take a break :). I really recommend Iryna and her studio, we are lucky to have this studio in our neighborhood.
