Welcome to the Studio School

To Our Students, Supporters, and Art Lovers

During this uncertain period, non-profits are working hard to remain financially viable, while our doors are closed. The Studio School has operated for thirty years and provided art instruction to thousands of students of all ages. Our faculty is comprised of professional, working artists who bring knowledge, skill, and enthusiasm to their students. We love our students and look forward to seeing them in one of the exciting classes we are eager to start, as soon as the coronavirus is behind us.

Please consider making a donation to our school to help us weather this time. Any amount would be appreciated. We are a 501c3 non-profit.



Thank you for your support of The Studio School,

THE STUDIO SCHOOL REOPENING POLICY

The Studio School is reopened in June, 2020 for classes offered in the summer schedule. In order to maintain a safe environment for our faculty and students we do the following:

  • Keep tables six feet apart
  • Only 8 foot tables are in place
  • Maximum of 10 students in front room
  • 8 students in back room
  • Cleaning of tables, doorknobs, faucets, etc. before classes start
  • Table mats will not be used; bring a white trash bag or plastic to cover your space. Take it home to throw away.
  • Wear masks and gloves
  • There is a clorox solution in spray bottles to use on tables. Instructors will wipe down tables and chairs after each class.
  • General classroom cleaning of surfaces will take place on a regular basis.
  • Extra bleach and paper towels are in the cabinet in the front room.

We look forward to resuming classes. We will monitor the pandemic continually, in case of needed policy changes.
