Artist Lab is a wonderful place for young artists to grow. The amazing instructors teach real technique, from learning how to shade and show light in pencil sketches to layering paint and balancing colors in acrylics. Every class builds skill and confidence while still keeping art fun. Our children have been learning about composition, blending, and patience. Most importantly, they always leave feeling proud of what they’ve created. Highly recommend for families who value genuine and high-quality art education.

My son goes to summer camp here and they are the best. He learns art techniques, always has fun and it’s a great confidence builder. The teachers are patient, knowledgeable and kind.

What a gem this place is! Both my daughters (ages 4 and 6) loved their week of summer camp creating. Both are asking to come back. They have completely different personalities yet both found the perfect guidance in their teachers to ignite their creative spark. Absolutely recommend.

Extremely disappointed with my experience at Artists Lab and I even gave this place more than one opportunity to redeem itself. The vibe feels more like you pay a fee for “rental space” as there’s no clear structure between staff and the entire place is crowded chaos. The quality of staff is night and day, no middle ground. They’re either extremely knowledgeable or really shouldn’t be teaching/running a business. You’re given misinformation on fees and told something is free when it isn’t. Was hopeful this would be a space for creative adults to get together but it’s definitely more child oriented. My advice if given an option- stay and home and create on your own instead. Feeling like herded cattle or an annoying gnat if you have a question when you’ve paid to be in class is a joke.

We've had a wonderful experience with the summer camp for our four year old who has developed an interest in creating. The group is small and approachable and has a nurturing environment. Ms Shelby & Mr Rodrigo have been great drawing/painting teachers, and Sophia & Jesse have created a wonderful space for artists. We love seeing his creations every day. I can't recommend it enough. This is the only camp our son has felt comfortable and enjoyed so we're doing another week❤️
