Friendly and experienced teachers. All around great art school. You first must take a drawing class before jumping in to whatever medium you wish to explore. However, this is fun and a great foundation on which to build your craft as an artist. I am so glad I did it. They have workshops with other famous guest artists and classes for children. It is also a great resourse for the purchase of fine art at a ground floor price, imagine buying a piece of art from Piacaso while he was in school !!! Frankie Johnson and all of the artists are just outstanding. PS so happy to be able to take portrait classes with Mainstreet. You cannot go wrong.
