Locust Street Art

During summer it runs low-cost, project-based art camps and workshops in drawing and painting, ceramics, and film, digital photography and animation. Free open-ended community classes run in fall and spring.

★★Kiki WozniakWe enjoyed the small class that we took, but found it off-putting that we had to clean up everyone's stations before we left. I would be understanding of this if we joined one of the free classes, but we paid for our session and normally studios wouldn't require us to do this. We were also told we would receive and email of when our art would be ready for pickup, but it's been over a month and we still haven't heard back. I'm sure this place is great for their community efforts, but for paying clientele it is a rip-off.
★★★★★Kristin SmithEvelyn at Locust Street was phenomenal in helping to plan a field trip for our students! We also worked with two other artists ... Mr Mikey and Miss Niyah - they were great with our kids! Fantastic experience from start to finish. I will definitely be back :)
★★★★★Chris NeymanA real Buffalo treasure. We participated in ceramics and drawing classes and had a wonderful time. The building is very cool and just bursting with wonderful art and artists. Very family friendly.
★★★★★Chris RLocust street art is amazing, my wife and girls go to classes there and really enjoy them. It’s a really great resource for the community as well. Consider taking a class or two they have so many interesting options. The people are wonderful and so knowledgeable they go out of their way to help and teach in any way they can.
★★★★★Victoria DentMy girls loved the classes they took. Also offer adult classes. Be sure to offer donation, if you are able. We will be back.
