US Arts Center

Our students learn and grow not only as artists, but they also build their confidence, patience, and focus.

Akay O., a graduating senior, loved her experience at US Arts!

"US Arts Center and everyone there were key to my success in creating a portfolio for college admissions. Within a year, I went from nearly no experience to a full 15+ piece portfolio with a variety of mediums and techniques. Not only did they give me the ability to be a creative artist, they supported me throughout my whole journey and gave me the confidence to succeed. I cannot recommend USArts enough to anyone looking to better their art skills or even develop them from nothing. Extra thanks to all my teachers who were there for me from day one all the way to the end."

Featured Student Artist: Laura L.

Laura’s artwork is very surreal, which is why we love it! On the left, you can see a woman’s face emerging from barren tree. The only signs of life besides the woman are delicate butterflies emerging from the trees.

Medium: Colored pencils on black paper

Featured Student Artist: Akay O.

Akay's artwork shows runners on the move with energetic colors like orange, red, and yellow. What stands out is the blue runner in the center, who appears to be in a world of their own, lost in thought as they run.

Medium: Collage and ink/pen

Our students always look forward to going to their art classes with us! 😊

It brings us so much joy to hear from our parents that our students are so enthusiastic about learning art.

Featured Student Artist: Michelle J.

Michelle J.'s self-portrait uses a combination of different art mediums to create the textures of citrus fruit and the shimmering waters filled with whale sharks. She is looking to the left and looks lost in thought.

We love the contrast in colors and the tiny details that Michelle includes in her work.

Are you considering applying to art school or seeking ways to showcase your creativity on your college applications, but are unsure where to start?

We have a college art prep program!

Many of our students, like Lena S., have benefited from participating in our college prep program.

Here’s what Lena said about her experience:

“From helping me build a strong foundation in painting and colored pencil to helping me develop a college art portfolio, my journey as an artist would not have been the same without them. All the teachers and staff members are incredibly supportive and have consistently challenged me to push the boundaries of my creativity. As a result, I’ve become a more experimental and open-minded person.”

“With the help of US Arts, I’m happy to say that I’ve been accepted to some of the country’s top universities, including UVA through the Echols Scholar program, Emory with scholarships and grants, and Brown University. The common denominator in all of these acceptances is my art portfolio (thanks to US Art’s support and feedback).”

Our students love learning art from our teachers!

Our teachers have a passion for sharing what they love about art with our students. Many of our students have been with us for a long time because they love the support of our amazing teachers!

Our summer art programs are loved by both our students and their parents!

Here's what one parent said about their child's summer art experience:

"My daughter has also attended US Arts' summer camp several times, and each experience was outstanding. As a parent, I feel lucky to have such a professional art training place so close to us."
