Leave your busy schedules and the stresses of the world at the door as you enter our peaceful studio atmosphere. Open Studio is typically held every Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, plus many days off from school. No experience is necessary, and all ages are welcome – a great option for family time! We welcome those with needs to attend any of our regular classes or Open Studio hours with an aid or family member.

Open Art Studio is a drop-in time that costs $26 per 1 hour session to paint one of our hundreds of designs on an 11″ x 14″ canvas. We will pre-sketch images on the canvas for you! You may choose other surfaces (wood, slate, tile, or glass) or upgrade your canvas size for a small additional supply fee.  If a project takes more than an hour you will be charged a $13 finish-up fee. We offer 4 special paintings each month for just $20 each (1 hour session). On Thursdays seniors paint any painting for $20 (11″ x 14″ canvas). We also have various art media for those who just want to work with paper, and we have a few crafty projects as well.

No preregistration is necessary – check our calendar for Open Art hours and all our other events.

Open Art Studio is not a fully instructed class, though we are here to guide you and to provide basic art instruction, samples, ideas, as well as various stencils/tracers to help ensure your success. Please keep in mind that you will be working independently as we come around the room to assist. 

Chef’s Club is back! Class is held on Thursdays from either 4:30-5:30 pm or 5:45-6:45 pm. Each session will be held safely at the studio. Your child will make a delicious and fun recipe each week!

At Art in Mind we realize how important it is for homeschool parents to give their kids the best possible education they can. Integral to an excellent educational program is the inclusion of fine arts, which has been proven to be essential in so many ways.  The benefits include enhancing motor skills, fostering creativity, learning about history, recognizing cultural differences, and so much more. An education rich in art education encourages individuality, creative thinking, and the appreciation of the differences among others, which will impact one’s future.  We hope that you will choose our Homeschool Art Program to supplement the outstanding education you are providing your children.
