By far the best art program in the state. Thank you to Tim Miller for being there for our kiddos, they love learning from you and look forward, at least in one case, to your tutelage for 3 more years- we cannot wait to see all the creations and look forward to the clutter and taking over of dinner tables and living room furniture to make it all come together!
