The Art Room

★★★★★Urszula Salwin

We love The Art Room! Small groups enable your artist to get personalized attention and guidance. Especially for your older, more experienced, artists to further their skill under Susan’s experienced eye.

My daughter had been craving a place where her creativity could truly flourish, and she found it here. Ms. Weres is a dedicated teacher who creates a positive and welcoming environment where every child can embrace their imagination. The variety of tools and materials she provides goes far beyond what most schools offer. My daughter enjoys everything from drawing to ceramic art, and this is the only activity she has consistently continued for the past five years. I wholeheartedly recommend The Art Room to any child who loves art and wants a place where their creativity can truly thrive.

​My daughter has loved her time with Mrs. Weres at The Art Room. As a truly special teacher, Mrs. Weres motivates her students and creates a positive, nurturing space where young artists feel safe to explore their creativity. ​Not only has my daughter learned new skills and experimented with new mediums, but she has also been mentored and encouraged to discover her own artistic voice. Mrs. Weres meets students where they are, helping developing artists of all levels grow in both skill and process - from early development all the way through college application portfolio preparation. ​The studio itself is incredible and has everything a student could possibly need to help their vision become a reality. We also really appreciate that the classes are kept small and that projects are driven by the individual student, rather than everyone just completing the same assigned lesson. ​If you are looking for a positive environment where your artist can truly grow and thrive, The Art Room is the place to be!

My 10 year old daughter has been going to The Art Room for a few months. She thoroughly enjoys her time there. She says it’s a calm and relaxing space. She loves the opportunity to try the different mediums available and learn techniques of using the mediums. I love that Ms. Weres is sure to not help with the art on the artist’s art piece but show techniques alongside them (so that it is truly all done by artist alone). I’m so happy to have found such a wonderful art teacher to help grow my daughter’s artistic skills!

My daughter Anastasia (who is 10 years old now) joined The Art Room 4 years ago. She liked Ms.Weres from the very first lesson and she is still always exited to go to The Art Room. Ms.Weres is very responsive and always willing to schedule a makeup lesson if we miss a class. She keeps the room clean and safe. My daughter wanted to give her feedback about The Art Room so she wrote a letter: “Hi Ms. Weres. This is Anastasia. I want to say thank you for having me with you for a couple years and I always loved being in The Art Room, where I can let my imagination go wild. When I enter The Room I’m always greeted by a sweet cat which really makes my heart warm. You’ve helped me improve with my art over the time that I’ve been with you. I hope I will still be in The Art Room for many more years. You always help me to learn new things every time I come, and you inspire me to continue doing art every day. I hope this cheered up your day by knowing how grateful I am to be in The Art Room! I hope you have a wonderful day!”
