One River School

The research is catching up to what artists have known for years.

"Sometimes the most supportive thing we can do is tolerate our own discomfort as adults long enough to let them work through theirs, knowing that they have support right there." — Tammy, Sr. Director of Clinical Quality & Education, Kooth Digital Health

At One River, we see this in the studio every week. Art gives kids a safe place to try something hard, sit with it, and come out the other side. That's not a side effect of creativity. It's the point.

Learn creativity here. Use it everywhere.

Summer camp is almost here!

In 'Bugs Butterflies and Bees' Camp Kids design, build, and paint a real insect sanctuary using natural materials, while learning the skills to make a structure that actually works and holds up.

They'll also dig into why it matters: the insects and butterflies it attracts, the role they play in our ecosystem, and what it means to build something with a purpose.

Camp is coming up fast and spots are nearly full. Register today: https://hubs.la/Q04kYRFN0

Where do artists show their work? Ask your child.

This month, kids across One River are doing exactly that: stepping into the room, standing next to their work, and letting it speak for itself.

Our new Student Exhibition Series gives every age group their own moment.

No combined shows. No sharing the spotlight. Just kids, their work, and everyone who showed up to see it: grandparents, best friends, siblings, parents who didn't expect to cry in an art gallery.

Learn creativity here. Use it everywhere. Visit https://hubs.la/Q04kPM0L0 to see what's coming up at your studio.

1,800 teen artists. 15 locations. One project. This is the largest teen art exhibition this country has seen. Come see it for yourself.

"Just sit in your studio and make stuff."

That's Daniel Heidkamp. One of the most compelling voices in contemporary American painting and the artist inspiring 1,800 teen artists across One River Schools right now.

Not 1,800 copies of his work. 1,800 original interpretations of a place that matters to them. Painted, drawn, animated, designed. Every one of them made by a teenager who showed up and did the work... who sat in their local studio and made stuff.

That's the whole thing, really. You sit down. You make something. You do it again. You grow.

This summer, eight of those artists will win a private studio experience with Daniel in Brooklyn. The rest will be part of something that's never existed before: the largest teen art exhibition in the United States.

Exhibitions are open now across 15 One River Studios: from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut to Long Island, Texas, Indiana, and Oregon.
