Join Atelier School of Art for exclusive access to premium classes, special events, member discounts, and expert-led guidance to elevate your artistry.
We offer a variety of high quality oil painting and drawing classes for all ages from youth studio through adult.
We offer an annual membership for $255, which gives you a 15% discount on all classes and workshops for 12 months from the purchase date.
We also offer a family membership for $355/year, which extends the same benefits to everyone in your immediate household.
For example, most of our classes cost $286 every four weeks. With a membership, you’d pay $247—so if you take just one class for seven months, the membership essentially pays for itself. If you take two classes, it pays off in just over 3 months.
You’re welcome to start without a membership and add it later if you’d like.
Please note: All memberships are non-refundable.
We like to keep our class sizes right around 10 students to ensure plenty of one-on-one attention, guidance and support.
You can register for a class by creating an Atelier account or by filling out our enrollment form, both of which are available on our website. Simply press the “Register for Classes” button on our homepage to get started.
New students typically begin the first week of the month, and enrolling ahead of time helps ensure you secure a spot on the roster.
Absolutely! You can review all the details in our [Makeup Policy].
Billing starts on your first day of class and follows a 4-week cycle, covering one class per week (4 classes total).
Tuition rates:
Payments are billed automatically every 4 weeks unless you choose to go on hold or unenroll. We do not offer refunds for missed classes, but we do offer makeup sessions—full details can be found in our [Makeup Policy].
Some classes, camps, and workshops may require additional fees for materials or models.
For our Youth and Teen Studios, all materials are included in the monthly fee.
For painting classes:
You can either bring your own supplies or join our Materials Plan for $80/month—just show up and we’ll supply you with a canvas, and you can use our paint, brushes, palette, mediums, etc. Or bring your own. When you enroll, we’ll share our recommended materials list so you know exactly what you’ll need.
For drawing classes:
Drawing students will need to bring their own supplies. Upon enrollment, we’ll send you a list of recommended materials.
Of course! Feel free to sign up for a studio tour online or call the studio at (248) 951-4400 to set up an appointment that works for you.
