Rebel Art School

Summer 2026 is on! We kicked off the first week of camps last week. Boom! Blink and you’ll miss it. These were a few projects made by our Studio Arts full day campers. Such a great group. Looking forward to all the creative chaos of the next nine weeks!🎉🎨🖌️🖼️💗

Congratulations to all these amazing Rebel Assistants that are all graduating from LLHS today (my alma mater!)!! So so very proud of each of them for all their hard work academically, but also professionally. They’ve busted their booties all year making the studios run smoothly hand in hand with Rebel teachers. I can’t wait to see what these yutes do in their next chapters! Congratulations!!🎉

Rebel wouldn’t be Rebel without this outstanding crew of artists fostering their creative love to those who dare to explore and express (not pictured: Ms. Charlotte & Mr. Jamie, & all of our stellar assistants). Congratulations and the biggest heartfelt thank you to the Rebel Crew for another beautiful year! 🙏🏽💗

This bestest, smartest, prettiest, calmest, weirdest dingo turns 7 today!🎉🎂🥳

I can’t even wrap my head around the fact that this will be our 5th annual Rebel Art Student Show, let alone our 10th year of bringing Rebel Art to the community!🎉 We invite you all to come Thursday, May 28th anytime between 4-7PM to check out artwork made by our students over the course of this school year. Join us in celebrating our students, draw on our art wall, add a little something to a community ceramic piece, and enjoy some snacks by .peamarket 💗🎨🧀🏺We look forward to seeing your faces!

Words of advice from the art wall. 💗

We want to share an important update with our community. After a thoughtful team discussion, our staff has decided to participate in the nationwide strike and shutdown on Friday, January 30, in protest of ICE and in solidarity with Minnesota. On this day, our studio doors will be closed as we take a collective stand. All staff members will be paid for the day and are free to use their time and voices in whatever way feels right for them. Because of this closure, all classes scheduled for 1/30 will be canceled.

If families would like a creative way to honor the day in lieu of class, we invite students to use their art as a tool for connection and care. Some ideas include:
-Creating a drawing or card to give to a neighbor, teacher, friend, or family member
-Making art that expresses kindness, hope, or solidarity
-Using art to reflect on community, fairness, or standing up for others

We understand that this decision may not align with everyone’s views, and we respect that. At the same time, we feel it’s important to act in alignment with our values, and we hope our community will stand with us. As a small business owner, taking a public stance feels scary, but I believe this moment transcends politics and enters the realm of morality. When members of our broader community are harmed or marginalized, staying silent does not feel neutral—it feels like a choice. As a team, we believe we have a responsibility to stand up for our community, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

I could snuggle up with a cuppa tea, a fire, and look at this for hours. Loving this still life painting finished up by one of our Rebel Makers this morning. That color palette! Beauty!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
