The Art Room is a studio offering art instruction to children and adults in downtown Lafayette, California. Our students hail from the Lamorinda area, Walnut Creek, Danville, Berkeley, Concord, Pleasant Hill and other East Bay cities. Students experience and enjoy the creative process while learning the skills needed to create a work of art with pride. Our goal is to achieve a balance between process and product.

Emphasis is on small classes (6-10) with strong individual attention. Whether students work from one of our fabulous projects or from a still life that we've set up, the results are amazing. With the guidance provided by skilled art instructors, students gain self-confidence as they explore and develop their artistic ability. At The Art Room every student Shines! In addition to the wide choice of classes we offer, you can also "Create-a-Class". We will work with you to create a class for your children, or a group of adults. Days and times are flexible. These classes have been especially popular with pre-schoolers and home-schoolers. We provide a positive and nurturing learning experience that encourages our students to use their imagination. At the same time students begin to acquire an art vocabulary, are introduced to well known artists and learn the necessary skills to create great art.

We're thrilled to announce that, for the second year in a row, The Art Room was voted to have the Best Art Classes in the East Bay by Diablo magazine and you! We are honored to have been chosen by you to provide art classes to your children. And we are so grateful that the readers of Diablo magazine have declared that the Best of the East Bay art classes can be found right here at The Art Room.
