One River School of Art + Design
Private
The Evanston branch of One River School of Art + Design, offering summer art and design camps for students in grades K-12 taught by practicing artists, designers and animators. Camp sessions run two and a half hours each with a short break, in morning, afternoon and late-afternoon blocks weekly from June through August, so families combine sessions for a longer day. Course formats include Art Shuffle, which cycles through materials in roughly two-week projects, and longer Focus classes in animation, cosplay and painting.

★★★★★Joanne LI took One River School’s Printing Patterns workshop today, and it was wonderful! The instructor, Marisa, was fabulous. She provided excellent detailed instruction which was appreciated by this novice (!) and she was warm and friendly as she encouraged and coached each of us taking the workshop. I enjoyed the class so much that I will be looking into their other workshops and classes offered for adults.
★★★★★LS WashingtonMy son and I attended One River's Pumpkin Painting Event this past weekend. We had so much fun. Our host Grace was incredibly kind. Would love to return to take more art classes.
★★★★★Kimberley StephensonOne River is a really wonderful environment and the teaching from Marisa is really great and I definitely feel my artistic capabilities are improving with her guidance.
★Adam HaagMy 6yo daughter enjoyed the art classes thoroughly over the summer of 2023. From an instruction perspective, I recommend the company. However, after her classes were over, I was offered to close or suspend her account. I was unsure of the fall / winter schedule for my daughter, so I chose to freeze her account. This included a $165 pre-payment fee, which we did. Today, my daughter has decided to not pursue additional classes. I called One River and was told the $165 cannot be reimbursed. I have since read the fine print of the agreement and it does say the deposit is not refundable. So, although One River did not do anything against their own policy, it seems ridiculous to me to hold a nonrefundable deposit for a child's art class! I understand the need to financially plan for instructors and materials, but every other art school in the area does not require a non-refundable deposit. Very disappointing business practices and would not recommend to others
★★★★★Matt GolosinskiA wonderful part of the community staffed with fantastic, caring instructors. Cannot say enough good about the One River team. Our family has been enrolled there since this location opened. Highly recommended!
