I've been extremely happy with US Arts. Our children have been taking classes there for nearly…read morethree years, and we've been consistently impressed by the curriculum, the well-structured lessons, the high quality of instruction, and the school's efficient management. Our kids have very busy schedules with many extracurricular activities, but US Arts has been incredibly flexible with scheduling regular classes and makeup lessons. The availability of classes throughout the summer also makes it easy to continue learning year-round. Overall, we feel that the program offers exceptional value and is well worth the investment.

This "so-called" music school is a disgrace, a waste of students' time and parents' resources. The…read morewhole place is shabby and run down, and one can clearly see that the management was cutting corners to save a dime in everything. Dirty premises, plastic keyboards instead of acoustic pianos, underpaid and underqualified teachers, no performing facility, unprofessional forms and rude staff, most of which are relatives - how could it be even worse? Well, they may have just outdone themselves. Children, otherwise gifted, may have their musical potential ruined by the instruction they receive at this school. Only in the United States - such so-called school would be under criminal investigation in elsewhere. Stay away!

I started to go to J Art in 6th grade. I'm now a senior in college (at my dream school, Rhode…read moreIsland School of Design!) and I can say for a fact that I would not have gotten to this point without J Art. I came here for 6-7 years constantly; I even moved to Florida for a couple years for my mom's job and I visited VA during my breaks just to attend J Art and work on my art. If it matters to the parents reading, J Art also helped me apply to (and win) lots of art competitions that I otherwise would not have known about. I also think the strictness level varies for each student, as every teacher I worked with were talented and kind in their own unique ways. I'll keep my review short but I can say that I'm truly grateful for everything I've learned from here and that I miss it very much! Easily the easiest 5 stars I can give to any establishment. I would give 10 if I could!

No artistic experience needed, just bring a positive attitude and an open mind for creativity!…read more There is no wrong way to paint at these classes, you will begin the class uneasy and perhaps overwhelmed but you will leave with a finished piece that will leave you inspired and excited to paint again! The teachers here are bubbly go-getters that incite your imagination and open your eyes to the fact that though you may think you are talentless, but by the end you discover there is some hidden aptitude roaring to come out! Art by the Glazz is different from other studio painting sessions because it's not as serious; they are leading you through a painting, not completely instructing you. They guide you through a particular painting by providing a small example print out of what you are doing but the insistence will be to make it your own by providing you a variety of colors that aren't even in the example and showing you techniques on their own canvas instead of painting by number. Everyone's canvas will be different and unique by the end of the class unlike other studios where everyone only has small differences based on their level of experience. I personally as an artist that has learned in a structured classroom, find the way they conduct the class to be invigorating, it has helped me to loosen my hold on my usually precise brush and experiment with new ways to do things (and actually finish a painting in one evening!). During the class you can expect music to be playing, toasts to be made with your small wine glasses, and conversations to be happening all around you. Towards the end, you will feel as if you have made new friends and will be amazed by all the other artistic gifts surrounding you. The wine glasses may be tiny but they are generous in refilling, be thankful the wine glasses are small because it prevents anyone from being too tipsy to drive after the 3 hour session but giddy enough to get loose and feel good while painting. You can find the studio in the same plaza as Willard's BBQ near the Chantilly Expo Center. You will have fun, you will discover something new about yourself, you will walk away with a lovely finished painting, and you may just learn how to open your mind up again and stop being that perfectionist.

Well reschedule for a month from now and we will make it up with more wine and fun.

So I start fanatically calling, and emailing. No response. My friend and I decide okay we will go and discuss. At this point I'm pretty irritated but I try to give the company the benefit of the doubt. They're busy, it's Saturday. We arrive that night and there are a group of women waiting outside. They said they had been knocking on the door for half an hour with no answer. If I could give zero stars I would.
