★★★★★Jennifer DanskaSuch an uplifting and spirited creative space. Arts and action is also a wonderful organization. Super fun for painted pottery parties!
★★★★★Susanna KimWe're so thankful for Arts in Action! My child would say things like, "I'm not good at art." We signed up my child to boost confidence and learn fine arts skills. Now they're so proud of their work and drawing more often! Junyu and team have been so patient and encouraging. Thank you!
★★★★★S RArts in Action Visual Art Program is an excellent art program! If you are looking for an art program that will cultivate your child’s technical skills as well as deepen their passion for art this is an excellent program that will meet both needs. The instructors and administrators are very welcoming and responsive to parent and student’s needs. This creates a positive learning environment and promotes self-confidence. My daughter enjoys and looks forward to attending each class session.
★★★★★Eljana BehramiWe love Arts in Action. My daughter started the sessions at the age of 7 and she has been in love with the program ever since. Angela and the staff are totally amazing, they are professional, they treat the children equally and they are all so well-spoken. It is a beautifully safe and comfortable environment. Truly amazing to see how much my daughter has grown and learned from these sessions. Everyone’s hard work at Arts in Action truly shows, and it is appreciated. I do not often write reviews but this one is worth writing. I 100% recommended.
★★★★★Andrea SchultzMy now 10-yr-old daughter has been going to Arts in Action VAP for a few years, and it's been exciting to watch her immense growth under the wonderful guidance of Angela and her team. The curriculum is comprehensive and challenging, and the students are deservedly proud of their work. They'll often work on a multi-layered project over the course of many weeks or months, thereby absorbing crucial lessons about patience, commitment, focus, and the joy of hard work. Can't recommend this program enough!
