Welcome to our Playground!

“Outstanding party venue!! My daughter recently had her 12th birthday party at Heart of Art, and it exceeded all expectations. The environment is perfect- decorations are beautiful, tables and food were great, canvases and painting materials were set and ready to go, and the music and sound system added to the fantastic party vibe. My daughter and her friends (boys and girls) all had an awesome time dancing, eating, and painting. She choose the space theme, and the kids had lots of cool choices to paint. Saima and her staff were so helpful with showing everyone how to trace, outline, and paint their canvases. They each left with a beautiful piece. I highly recommend Heart of Art!”

“My daughter takes art class with Ms. Saima and I’m so incredibly grateful for how her creativity is nurtured and her unique perspective is honored. Class is not only fun, the students gain a foundational understanding of different styles and types of art. They experiment, grow, imagine, and push themselves to higher levels of artistry each week. Ms. Saima is patient, collaborative, and just a wonderful teacher and human.”

“I recently attended the Heart of Art's Glow Paint Party for an adult party, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, which set the perfect tone for a creative evening. Everyone in our group had so much fun, and it was clear that this event was designed with enjoyment in mind. The attendants were amazing—super helpful and hands-on throughout the entire session. Their guidance really enhanced our creative sides, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the painting process. Their welcoming and supportive attitude made the experience even better, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and free to express themselves artistically.”

“Had a great time at Heart of Art painting lesson. It was a first time experience for me as I’ve never done any painting for art. Saima made us feel comfortable, the mood was relaxing and she provided a safe environment without making me feel self-conscious about my lack of artistic talent. I found the exercise to be relaxing and allowed me to focus on what I was doing without feeling rushed or stressed out about what I did not finish in our allotted hour. I would recommend Heart of Art to anyone whether you are a fledgling artist or just looking to explore your boundaries.”

My daughter recently had her 8th birthday party at Heart of Art and she had a blast! Her friends also had so much fun from beginning to end. I loved how the girls sketched and painted their own drawing and could take it home as a souvenir! The glow aspect was the selling point, such a neat idea and very different from your typical party! The party games and music/dancing were also a hit! And in addition to the actual party, what was very impressive was how Saima, the owner, made the entire planning process, from beginning to end, super easy and smooth! Her communication regarding party details was very responsive and timely and all the info regarding pricing/final payment was very clear. She was open to ideas and was super accommodating. She had all the small details figured out in order to allow the party to run very smoothly. She made the entire process very simple and straightforward which is every parent’s dream when planning a party for kids! Thank you and we hope to be back!

“This art studio is amazing. My daughter came here for a girl scouts art lesson and they had a blast.. They drew Xmas trees on canvas boards. The staff was very nice and helpful in making sure everyone had enough paint in trays. Definitely will be back for more classes 😀”

My son has taken weekly classes at the Heart of Art studio for a few years now. He loves his teacher, Saima, who is a very talented, knowledgeable instructor. She creates a fun, creative and open atmosphere that the children love and my son really responds to. He tends to complain about some of the other activities he’s signed up for, but never his weekly art class! We’ve seen tremendous growth in his artistic talents during his time at the studio. Saima is always giving him new challenges to keep his interest and grow his abilities. I’ve recommended the studio to other friends with children interested in art and they’ve all had similar positive experiences. We will hopefully be coming here for years to come!

My daughter attended summer camp at Heart of Art Studio, and she loved it so much, she asked to continue taking lessons throughout the school year. Not only does my daughter enjoy her weekly art classes, but we‘ve really seen a lot of development in her artistic abilities and her passion for art. Ms. Saima is an excellent instructor who cares about her students and who encourages and supports their growth and advancement. She’s wonderful about customizing and differentiating instruction for students at varied art levels, making lessons educational and enjoyable learning experiences for all.
