I can't thank One River, Erin and staff enough for everything their Portfolio Development Class…read moreprovided my daughter during her senior year. The personal attention towards Riley while creating her portfolio was exactly what she needed. Additionally, their attention to detail and assistance all throughout the process put my wife and I at ease. After going through this process, honestly, we shouldn't have waited until senior year. We plan on continuing classes at One River and certainly recommend the Portfolio Development Class for your aspiring art student! Definite game winning touchdown!

There are many art contests throughout the year that can be featured in books or games, and even international recognition. Have a try! ------------ Leeann is the main teacher that teaches art (drawing and painting) to kids about 4 and above. The space is quite new and has lots of room for expansion. Currently, she has 1.5 hr sessions throughout the day during weekdays and weekends. Most of her students are Chinese, but she is also fluent in English. The art class lasts 13 days for about $400. You need to provide your own media (color pencils, paint, pastels and paper), which she can recommend. The class is a mix of different skill levels. Your child will create works with different media, for example, she teaches basic outlining with pencil followed by marker, then the child colors with markers and pastels to create a unique piece. The classes are flexible with ample time for make-ups. If you have a toddler, there's a Gymboree next door. I take my 18 month next door during the art class.

It's fifth in the 12-animal Chinese zodiac cycle and the only animal that's a mythical creature. This afternoon, my partner and I arrived at the Woodland, located off of Woodland Road in Maplewood, to celebrate Lunar Fest NJ 2024--Maplewood Arts & Culture. Completed in 1930, the Georgian Revival-style mansion and adjoining auditorium have been a hub for Maplewood's vibrant cultural and civic life for over eight decades. The unique event features lion dance, performances representing Chinese, Mongolian, Thali, and Korean cultures, children's activities, and delicious food trucks, which brought out the crowd.

Just attended an event at the Woodland. Aside from its being a big old barn, the parking area is…read moreway too small for a facility as large as yours. Not only that, the lot is narrow and dangerous to navigate, especially when a large crowd is trying to park. But the most infuriating aspect of the parking situation is the number of spots unusable for the general public, which are labeled "24-hour parking permit required," Are you kidding?? I had to gingerly back out of a prohibited spot and circle the neighborhood (most of whose streets had "no parking anytime" signs) for 10 minutes before finding a spot where I could park. Your facility needs to expand the available parking immediately. I advise any group considering holding an event at the Woodland to physically view the parking situation before booking an event.

My friend enjoys hands on projects, while I really don't but wanted to do this for her. I have visited a different location a few years ago and thought I could tolerate another project, but honestly was blown away by how interested and happy I was to create my project. I think a lot of it had to do with the staff and the vibes of the place. We were able to bring food and drinks into this location which made the experience even better. Sushi, champagne, French pastries, and a hands-on project was perfect for a Friday night. Our end project was so cute and something we can actually use in our homes. Also, a great place to have a small birthday get together, bridal event or even do with a large group. There is parking in the back also. My only feedback would be that even though it is amazing that its BYOB maybe there should be a limit because there was a man who was drunk, and he was making us uncomfortable with the things he was saying and him trying to touch us. One of the staff members kept trying to divert him back to his project, but he always found a way back to us, or other people.
