★★★★★Tawsha KammeyerSmartest Artist in Cottonwood Heights is so cool! Whitney is great with instructing the kids. My daughter (1st grade) brings home amazing works of art every week. The weekly classes are affordable and the perfect after school activity for my less athletic more “artsy” girl. I am looking forward to trying more offerings like birthday party, paint nights and summer camps! I can’t stop telling all my mom friends about this place! Thank you Whitney!
★★★★★JeremyFor a person that does not enjoy painting whatsoever, it was one of the best group experiences I've ever had and Whitney is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. Her kindness and open-mindedness makes for the most fun, comfortable and productive activity. Plus, she is such a great artist/teacher you will be amazed with what you can accomplish in such a short amount of time. Super excited for next time!!👍👍
★★★★★Ashley WilliamsWe love Whitney at the Smartist Artist! My kids have both done these classes and absolutely love them! My daughter goes weekly and comes home with the most beautiful pieces, so much so that we created a gallery wall to display her artwork!
★★★★★Elizabeth GuiggeyWe absolutely love Whitney and the Smartest Artist! She is truly amazing — not only incredibly talented, but also so patient, encouraging, and wonderful with the kids. You can tell Whitney genuinely cares about each child’s experience and creativity. I’m constantly blown away by the art that comes home — it's thoughtful, beautiful, and so much more advanced than I expected. We had to create an "art wall" in the house to display the pieces. The projects are fun and engaging, and it’s clear that a lot of intention goes into the planning. Whitney really goes above and beyond. I can’t recommend this class enough — it’s been such a bright spot in our summer and we can't wait to continue into the school year!
★★★★★Nicole ZeiglerMy son has never liked art. So I signed him up for Whitney's Masters class, hoping it might inspire him. While he hasn't quite changed his mind about making it a hobby, he came home each day with a really cool piece, and was able to tell us a bit about the artist it was inspired by. I won't forget how proud he was to show us his work! And I loved it so much I framed 2 of the pieces and hung them up! Whitney is so sweet with the kids, and genuinely passionate about what she does. It was a really great experience.
