My 5 year old daughter loved her summer camp experience at the Art Beat. She felt comfortable there and had happy, competent instructors. She learned a lot about art and was happy to go to camp every day.
We went for a family painting session. Overall, a very pleasant experience thanks to friendly staff. A few wrinkles, though - First, there is no dedicated parking for the studio, so you need to park on street, but one block down the street, residential only parking begins. Also, specifically for our session, I have to say that I was a bit disappointed with the technical skills of the instructor who was painting the demonstration piece. Finally, I have attended similar sessions elsewhere, and in comparison, I found folks here to be a bit stingy on the paint. While you can always ask for more of course, it seems unnecessarily tedious to start already with a tiny drop of a color that you know youll be covering a substantial part of the canvas with.
Relaxing and fun. Great way to express yourself. Have a night out with friends or you can drop your kids off for parents night out! Score.
