Welcome to the Studio School
Throughout our 30 years of operation, The Studio School has provided an exceptional level of art education and exploration to thousands of art enthusiasts. We are a thriving, energetic art organization that offers instruction by some of the valley’s most notable artists. Beginners, those brushing up on old skills, and professional artists, will find courses that inspire and educate.
We are located inside the upper level of Towers Mall • 2137 Colonial Avenue SW • Roanoke • VA • 24015
Since 2012 The Studio School has brought nationally known artists to Roanoke to teach week-long fund-raising workshops as a part of our philosophy of educating and fostering art in this region. Such people as John Salminen, Kathleen Conover, and Jean Pederson share their personal understanding of composition, material choices and insights so that we may each grow as artists ourselves.
As an easel supports a painting, the members of The Easel Society support The Studio School. Membership is offered to students, their families and community members.
If you’ve thought about taking an art class but haven’t gotten around to it, now is a great time! If you are already are a student, we thank you for being a part of our success.
Adult classes continue to maintain a high quality of education, and the beginning student finds as much support and encouragement as does the professional artist attending for a “recharge” of inspiration or a new challenge. The schedule now includes Children’s Classes after school and some Saturdays!
