Enrolling is simple.
We're an application-based school because the secret sauce to creating stellar art classes is forming a group of exceptional students who jive really well together. That's why we hand-pick only teachable, ready-to-go-for-it individuals.

Got questions?
It might just be who we are, but we love to answer questions. Feel free to chat with us if you don't find an answer below.
We're a human-centered art school which means we want to make sure we're the best possible match for each other. An application-based program allows US to make YOUR experience our top priority by paying close attention to class dynamics.
We've discovered truly exceptional classes are filled with people who really want to be there, who are determined to put in the work to get better, who are willing to be vulnerable so that they can learn and improve, and who feel that this art community is their home away from home.
Keeping our website's information evergreen allows us to work more fluidly as a studio to provide the Academies that are most wanted by our artists. It also allows us to open new day and time slots quickly as demand changes. It's a win-win for both us and you.
During your Get Acquainted Interview, you'll chat with our team about details such as day and time. If there is not a current opening in the Academy class of your choice, you'll be added to our waitlist so that you are contacted first when a spot becomes available.
All of our classes are held Monday through Thursday in the mornings, afternoons and evenings.
We currently open enrollment 3 times a year: in January, late spring, and late summer. Additional enrollment windows may open up through out the year depending on our studio schedule.
Enrollment windows are not open long — students are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis — so applying as soon as the enrollment window opens and getting your Get Acquainted Interview scheduled quickly is one of the best steps you can take to secure a spot in our art school.
Because of this flexible enrollment approach by our studio, we encourage interested students to click the "Notify Me" buttons through out our website so that you don't miss an enrollment window that opens at an unexpected time.
No. We only teach ages 16 and older.
The Launch Program is an invitation-only 4 week period for new students at the studio. These four weeks allow us to get to know you in the class setting to see if we feel like we'd be a good permanent fit for each other.
Our team will share more details about the Launch Program during your Get Acquainted Interview. You'll receive an email about one week after your interview letting you know if you've been invited to start the Launch Program.
Each Academy class is 2.5 hours long, once per week, and held in-person at the studio.
Our program does not have a traditional start and stop season. You attend continuously year-round until you choose to stop. You can stop at any time by going to the Student Dashboard and filling out a Drop Form.
You can also go to the Student Dashboard to see our studio calendar. We hold classes most weeks of the year with the exception being the month of July. The studio is closed in July.
Each Academy class has 12 students to maximize one-on-one mentoring and artistic collaboration.
No. Each medium may have several Academy classes. For example, the Oil Painting Academy may have classes on Tuesday morning, Wednesday afternoon and Thursday evening.
When prospective students are invited to enroll, our team helps them select which specific Academy class they will attend.
We've found the sweet spot in art education. We've designed a creative experience that features high-quality art education, real-world artistic experiences, one-on-one mentoring, and a studio vibe that can't be beat — and it's all only for ages 16 and above.
We are not a neighborhood craft corner for sort-of-interested individuals. We do not offer date nights, parties, short-term classes, arts & crafts or kids camps.
Our students sum it up: they travel from up to an hour away to be a part of our amazing school.
We use the Accomplished Artist Method to teach our students. It is a uniquely designed, rotating curriculum that blends structure with flexibility, creative collaboration with individual milestones and real-world experiences with one-on-one mentoring.
This innovative — and absolutely genius — art education curriculum was designed by artist Susie Bytheway who has over 25 years of art mentorship expertise.
All of our talented teachers are also trained in the Accomplished Artist Method of teaching.
Nope! As the artist you are in charge of how long you'd like to stay with us at the studio. Most students choose to remain with us for several years since they benefit from a specially designed curriculum that grows with the artist.
No. Students bring their own art supplies to each and every class. Check out our Supply Lists to see what you need to bring and conveniently order supplies online.
Yes. There is an annual enrollment fee of $40 per student that will be charged automatically after graduating from the Launch Program as well as on the same date each year thereafter.
The enrollment fee allows us to provide awesome student experiences by covering the costs of studio sponsored events like open houses and art shows, and it allows us to pay admission fees for community-based contests.
Studio tuition is $295 per month and pays for the cost of four classes. It is paid through an automatic withdrawal on the 25th of every month (except the 25th of June since the month of July is summer break). This automatic process is set up at the time of enrollment.
You can access the payment portal via the Student Dashboard on our website to personally update credit card or other information as needed.
Dropping enrollment from the studio is easy. Simply click on the Drop Form button in the Student Dashboard on our website. You'll fill out a short form letting us know the date of your last day of class.
Please note: we do not refund tuition that has already been paid.
If you choose a drop date that falls under a future monthly tuition payment, we will happily prorate your last tuition payment to reflect the number of days you attend class in that specific billing cycle.
Since our teachers are here ready to teach every class time, tuition is not reimbursed for missed classes.
