Though I'm not taking back any of what I said the first time, I figured an update was due since I…read morewent to my second class. It probably took me 10 minutes of walking around to find the studio. Only after stopping a girl that was walking back to her car and asking, was I able to find it. The storefront is all window. Which is why I don't understand why they don't take artistic liberties and paint the windows (with something non-permanent) so passers-by can easily tell what the building's business is. After ordering a glass of wine, (at least they have some $5 glasses) and sitting near the front, I noticed that the painting at the front of the room was not the painting that I thought I would be doing. I brought my concern to the artist , and she informed me, after checking the calendar, that the painting I went for was actually on Tuesday. My bad. BUT! Chloe was awesome and got me some green and let me go at it making the painting I wanted, rather than following the class. Halfway through she found a copy of the painting and brought it over so I could look at it rather than at my dying phone (which was grainy because of the size of the picture anyways). In the end I was pretty happy with the painting though it wasn't exactly like the example - it's not supposed to be, right? The staff was a lot nicer this time around, but considering my overall experience and the price, I'm sticking with my 2*s

This place is awesome. Both time I went was for fundraiser events and the instructors made sure we…read morehad fun. They have a small bar but you can get anything from mixed drinks to a bottle of wine. They give you the colors you need (or would like to use) and walk you through the paintings.

NW Classen HS, home of the Knights, was my HS. Attended this HS for 4 years. For others, it may not…read morebe best HS in the OKC metro, and considered to be academically inferior to its counterparts, Classen SAS or NE Academy. But for me, it was where I realized I wanted to pursue higher education. Just have gotten out of ESL classes the year prior, NW Classen gave me a much needed confidence boost at the expense of other underachievers. I made quick progress with each passing years and in the end was top 3 of my graduating class, but could have been higher if it wasn't for the language barrier. Not being popular was what really helped me, but it didn't matter to me much. I didn't care if I fit in with others, a loner I guess. I would often had lunch by myself in the math classroom at noon. Thank you for the wonderful educators at NW Classen for instilling knowledge and giving me a good head start before college. When it was college time, I was more than ready academically. For those who feel not fitting in or being laughed at, just persevere because the winners are the people that get the last laugh.

If I could rate my small experience with La Petite Academy, I wouldn't even give it 1 star. I had…read morean appointment, was e-mailed an appointment confirmation, told there was an opening available for an infant and we had 1 day to try it out free. I went in for my appointment (where I was told I had to show an ID, but we clearly never even got that far), told them my name and that I was there for a 4:30 appointment. The two ladies at the front of the 3-ring circus told me that I did not have an appointment, and there was no opening for a child my age at all. As frustrating as that was, the lady explained to me further that she was the new director and didn't even know how the system worked. After speaking with another lady there was something mentioned about a child that left that went a few days a week, but nothing was ever asked about when or how often my child would need care before I was turned away again. I was eventually offered a tour while I was there, but after seeing how un-organized and poorly managed it was, decided I did not want to take my child there. No matter how long of a waiting list they had!

I can't say enough positives about this particular La Petite childcare!!

The director at this facility has won my approval over and over, many times. She actively listens to parents concerns and then acts one them!

We have been attending ArtWorks Academy of Performing Arts for some time, and until today we had…read morenever been told that parents or children could not wait in the lobby after class. In fact, their own website states that parents and children may wait in the lobby. Today, on one of the hottest days of the year during an Oklahoma heat advisory, my young daughter and her elderly grandmother were told they could not remain inside while waiting for their ride and were instructed to wait outside instead. This was not only inconsistent with the academy's published policy but also showed a concerning lack of judgment and concern for the safety and well-being of families. If the policy has changed, it should be clearly communicated in advance and reflected on the website. Instead, my family was unexpectedly forced outside into dangerous heat. This experience has left us extremely disappointed. A performing arts academy should prioritize the safety of its students and their families. Because of how this situation was handled, I can no longer recommend ArtWorks Academy to others, and we will not be returning. The instructors were always extremely nice and my daughter did enjoy going there. She will miss it but it is hurtful that they would force them in the heat on the first notice. I can understand a policy change or perhaps security/safety concerns but she had been waiting in the lobby this entire time without issue. They could have handled the situation better.

Update: After my original review, the owner contacted me, canceled all of my daughter's remaining…read morecamps, and refunded the unused camp fees. I appreciate that they processed the refund. However, the owner also asked me to remove my reviews because the refund had been issued. I respectfully declined. My goal was never to obtain a refund. A refund was simply the appropriate outcome for services that would no longer be provided. My goal has always been to make other families aware of my factual experience so they can make their own informed decision. Throughout our correspondence, the owner confirmed that my mother was asked to leave the building. To me, that is the heart of the issue. Once an elderly grandmother and a young child are asked to leave by someone in authority, they are naturally going to leave. The better response would have been to first ask simple questions such as, "Is your ride on the way?" or "Can we help while you wait?" The owner also acknowledged that Sofia told staff "Papa Carlos was on his way to pick them up," meaning they knew transportation had not yet arrived. Rather than taking a moment to understand the situation and find a safe solution, the decision was made to ask them to leave. The owner also stated that the wording of the camp policy on the website will be clarified, which I believe acknowledges that it was not as clear as it should have been. What disappointed me most was not the policy itself, but the lack of empathy afterward. A simple acknowledgment that this was a misunderstanding and an apology for the distress it caused my family would likely have resolved this very differently. Instead, every response focused on defending and justifying the actions taken. My review reflects my family's honest experience. I have updated it to include that the unused camp fees were refunded, but my opinion of how this situation was handled has not changed. I believe other parents deserve to know about my experience and decide for themselves. Original review: I am extremely disappointed with how ArtWorks Academy handled what should have been a simple conversation. This was my daughter's second (non-consecutive) year attending camp, and she was already in her third week this summer. My parents help us with pickup because both of my children finish camp at the same time in different locations. My mother waits with my daughter until my father picks up my son and then comes to get her. This arrangement had never been questioned before. Today, during an Extreme Heat Warning in Oklahoma, my elderly mother and my young daughter were told they could not remain in the air-conditioned lobby while waiting a short time for my father to arrive. I later received an email stating that parents and guardians are not permitted to sit in the lobby for any part of camp. However, after reviewing ArtWorks Academy's own website, I found their published policy states: "Parents and siblings are asked to wait in our lobby... You are welcome to bring your laptop and take advantage of the wireless internet connection at our facility." I also searched every email I have received and could not find the "Sunday email" that was referenced. My concern is not simply about a policy. If procedures had changed, a simple phone call or conversation would have resolved the situation. Instead, during dangerous heat conditions, my family was told they could not remain inside despite the academy's own published policy stating parents are asked to wait in the lobby. That demonstrated a lack of communication, consistency, and judgment. As a parent, those qualities are essential when deciding who to trust with your child. As a result of this experience, I immediately withdrew my daughter from all remaining camps. I will never send my child back to ArtWorks Academy, nor can I recommend this program to other families. Based on how this situation was handled, I no longer have confidence that my child would be in an environment where sound judgment and her well-being are prioritized.

Play with the light…read more Solid Light by Anthony McCall was such a fun experience. In a collaboration with the Tate Museum, the Oklahoma Contemporary Art Center has a very unique display. McCall's immersive light sculptures invite you to interact with but not touch the light. So much fun to walk through sculptural beams made of mist and projected light. This sensory experience was truly amazing. It was also a fun challenge to try to capture the images. The 2-D images on film barely scratch the surface of what you will enjoy in the Contemporary Arts Center. Ask questions to learn more. It was so interesting to hear about the installation. The center is just two floors of art. The exhibits change regularly. Parking and entry to the museum are both free. Enjoy the Solid Light.

I don't have enough adjectives for it! Lots of interactive pieces. The first floor was full of student art (from the adjacent studio I believe) and the third floor held a evocative exhibit, Jakian Parks: The Black Land. I wish I had had enough time to explore the grounds and the outside art. The best thing about OCAC is that it is free. (Please feel free to support this place and a $5 donation is encouraged.) I'm anxious to see what exhibits are on view the next time I'm in OKC.
