The Place For Aspiring Young Artists
“I loved having my young son who is an aspiring artist introduced to a “fine arts” learning environment. A place for him to take seriously, and to be taken seriously. Everything else for his age is “arts and crafts”. We like that this is a step up to something that makes art more real for him.“
