Hello Charna, I…read morewas just talking to Tristen last week about Ms. Sophia and how the classes there really prepared her for several of her classes at FIT. Twice a week they have live models in 2 of her classes one nude and one clothed, so the observation techniques she was taught at Sophia's really has helped her! I'll send you her portfolio and acceptance letter this week. She's doing well and enjoying her classes.

I was looking for an art studio to switch my daughter to. She was already attending an art studio,…read morebut they weren't helping her finish any projects. My daughter decided her goal was to attend Booker T Washington school of Visual and Performing Arts. When I first contacted J's, Kathleen spent 30 mins on the phone with me. She knew our goal in mind and told me they would be more than happy to help her obtain her goals. Ren is now attending BTW and loving it. Ren still goes to classes twice a week and LOVES being there. I recommend this place to EVERYONE.

Hands down one of the most fun family experiences we've had in a long time. From the moment we…read morewalked into Pipe & Palette, it felt like we had discovered something truly special. We actually had the space to ourselves, which made the experience feel even more personal and unforgettable. The staff made us feel welcomed, celebrated, and completely at ease. My kids were able to laugh, create, get messy, and just be themselves, and as a mom, that meant everything. Watching each of them create their own masterpiece was worth every penny. The value for what you get is incredible. I honestly would have been happy either way, but I truly appreciated that they also offered a military discount. That extra gesture meant a lot to our family. This isn't just an activity. It's a memory. It's the kind of experience that makes you want to come back month after month and make a new canvas each time, creating a family tradition one masterpiece at a time. We will absolutely be back.

This place is amazing such a fun experience for the kids. I highly recommend…read more My son had his birthday party here and we went into the splash room and the kids had a blast. We even took home canvases for memories. The staff was so nice and accommodating to the wild kiddos.

Buyer beware, as these classes are very expensive, that this is not a place for a beginner to go to try to learn a skill.

Kelly's Art Shack is a trendy art studio in the middle of Historic Downtown McKinney…read more This kid-friendly space has activities like video games, board games and even cornhole out on the beautiful courtyard (decorated completely by the owner, Kelly, herself) that is attached to the gallery. I loved relaxing here with co-workers in the evening, not to mention that view of the McKinney water tower from the patio at night cannot be beat. I highly recommend coming to see the unique artwork. My favorite piece was a large, canvas painting of "Woodstock '69," so as soon as I saw it, I had to take home the original before there were only prints available. The art is so affordable and better yet, when you purchase one you become an "artster," which comes with membership benefits. I can't wait for the next live music show and I am hoping to attend a paint party soon. I may even try to book this event space for my toddler's birthday party!

The instructions were clear and helpful. We learned history behind the trade. We got to watch demonstrations then got to do so much art ourselves. The whole class was having a great time. You really got to explore your inner artist and no previous skill required. The studio has so many artistic options. They do workshops and classes. They also have space for private events and can do private classes with friends or company events. Great company team building idea. What a gem!
