To our surprise, in 3rd grade, my daughter's picture of an oak tree was selected to be the cover of…read morethe school yearbook. Wow!?! As parents, we'd always been impressed with her creativity, but now the world was giving us feedback reinforcing that it wasn't just silly parental pride. What to do? Somehow we came upon the great answer of taking weekly Father-Daughter art classes at Hidden Talent. We've been doing it for 2 years and my daughter and I just love it! The teachers at Hidden Talent are all very caring, talented, friendly, and genuinely interested in teaching the students. We've explored a variety of mediums, techniques, and materials in our projects. We spent last fall working on the human form - something really great for a 5th grader to begin to learn. Too bad we can't post pictures in this Yelp post! If your child is showing that creative spark and you want to foster it, nurture it, and help them really grown that talent, this is a fantastic opportunity. If you sign up for the parent-child class you'll gain triple benefits: each of you will stretch your artistic legs and you'll get that special weekly bonding time you and your child will remember the rest of your lives.

My 5 year old wanted to have an art themed birthday party. I searched around and Hidden Talent got…read moregreat reviews. The staff was very nice and friendly. The studio is clean and easy to get to from our house. I had a couple of issues with the party. First, this was a group of 5 year olds and the teacher chose an art project that was super challenging. My son loved it but I think it could have been a little better chosen for the age group. Secondly, I think that there should be some sort of paper trail after I booked the party. Everything is done verbally. I wanted to pay for the upgraded package or at least thought I told the manager this but when it came time for the party we did not get the upgraded package. It was a bit confusing. Overall, it was a good experience. I would recommend this kind of birthday party to others.

Each class has a good balance of teaching and hands-on practice, with a clear structure and dedicated time for both. At the end of each class, the instructor provides a recap along with comments on each student's in-class performance. This personalized feedback is very helpful for parents and gives students a solid foundation, especially for beginners. Overall, we've been very happy with the experience and would definitely recommend the classes.

They were so engaged and happy the whole time. What I really loved was how the teachers made everything feel extra special. They're super fun and let the kids get creative without holding back. As an artist myself, I think every little one deserves teachers like Marina and Inessa. The only reason we haven't signed our daughter up for regular classes is because the timings clash with her schedule. Otherwise, we'd sign her up in a heartbeat. Highly recommend this place, 1000 percent

She is professional, attentive and truly care for her students. She listened to me and worked on what I really wanted to achieve. I love every moment of the class .

As soon as I get to the class and start mixing the paints seems like I get so relaxed and actually this works as sort of meditation for me. I recommend her class to everybody of every ages.

On Friday April 20th, we attended the art show where Alisa demonstrated art works made by her students during the last 3 months. Again, we were demonstrated the fact that creativity had no its limits. The art studio is kind of diversified. Kids attend classes where they learn sculpting, animation, painting, multi-layers applications etc etc. I was amazed with a high quality of art works made by very little kids! 3-4-5-6 year olds were able to create beautiful works by using complex technique. Alisa is a great teacher who helps kids to discover their skills and express their creativity.

They learn different techniques (drawing, shading, perspective, etc) and get experience with different mediums (charcoal, pastel, paint, watercolor, ceramics, clay, etc). The space is welcoming and clean. I really appreciate that even as the teachers provide guidance, they allow the students' personalities and style to shine so the art isn't all the same. My youngest has very specific ideas about her art and they roll with it when she doesn't want to follow the example.

In response to Maria: I have no incentive nor desire to mislead readers. I am telling the truth…read moreabout my experience with your business. Respectfully, within our exchanges, you did not address my concerns, you doubled-down and responded in a defensive way, as you are doing in your response here. You responded to what you thought my concerns were, and sent the complaint directly to the teacher with no context, leading to a situation wherein my concern was not only not addressed, it was inflamed and taken out of context. It felt like being ganged up on. The difference in the public response here, however, is the apology. Offering to essentially boot us from the class is not akin to working with us towards a solution to keep us as customers. It reads as, "my way or the highway", which is not exactly a great way to deal with children and families. Notably inappropriate is also posting the status of my payment method on a globally public thread. Highly unprofessional. It shouldn't matter, since you were going to refund me anyway. I did not receive an email beforehand that the card didn't go through, either. We have been attending classes at this location for months with no issue with payment, and attended one class that I found out through this exchange was unpaid for due to a card being compromised. Is it not your job to inform people when their payment doesn't go through? Why did you deem it important to publicly shame/blast someone for their payment information? Very odd.
