  • We are located at The Beacon plaza in Grant Park neighborhood. Free parking is available in our main lot directly in front of the building, with additional street parking nearby.

  • Art supplies are provided for ALL kids and teen camps and classes, as well as most one-day workshops. However, adults who register for classes (and occasionally for specific workshops) are responsible for providing their own supplies.

    A list of required materials is shared in advance of the first class.

  • Art can get messy! We highly recommend wearing comfortable, studio-friendly clothing and shoes that you don't mind getting a little paint, clay, charcoal, or ink on.

  • Cancellations made at least 7 days before the start of a class or workshop are eligible for a full refund or studio credit. Cancellations made within 7 days of the start date are non-refundable, as materials have already been purchased and space is limited.

  • Our doors open 10 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. We ask that you arrive 5–10 minutes early to check in or drop off your child, find your station, and settle in so we can begin class on time.
