I found my talent in Urban Art Studio, Thanks Mr. Fred and Mrs. Sandra. Your studio is a cozy place that can relax and draw ☺️ . Specially Event Nights, are a class to learn painting, make friendship, and have fun.
Amazing experience at paint night at Urban Art Studio! Fred and Sonya were incredible instructors and were great at guiding you to find your own style and artistic expression. A true gem in our community!
I highly recommend Urban Art Studio for art classes. I’ve been taking drawing classes with Fred and have really enjoyed them. The classes are very reasonably priced, flexible to schedule, and the one-on-one teaching allows you to progress through the lessons very quickly. I’ve noticed a dramatic improvement in my sketching in only 3 classes.
My boyfriend and I had a wonderful date night at the Van Gough Sunflowers paint night – Fred and Sandra are lovely people who are passionate about art and fostering creativity. This is not your regular paint night – they encourage you to be creative and are there to provide guidance – they are very patient, attentive and help you as much as you want – very good value for money with some talented artists! We will be back 🙂

The instructors are not only talented but also super supportive, making the sessions fun and motivating. Whether you’re just getting started or have some experience, it’s a great place to explore urban art and push your creativity further. I left feeling inspired and already looking forward to going back 🙂

Whether you’re a beginner or experienced artist , it’s a fantastic opportunity to unwind, connect and unleash your artistic side. Don’t miss out on this gem right in your neighbourhood.
I am eager to share a glowing review of the art school where I have taken classes and the exceptional instructor who demonstrates superb teaching methods and remarkable patience with his students. I highly recommend this studio.
My wife is taking art classes here and is really enjoying it.
Farhad is really fantastic and supportive with his instruction.
She purchased a package of sessions with no regrets and looks forward to continuing her sessions at his and his wife’s art studio.
My wife has taken other classes through the City and I can tell this has definitely been her favorite. She even took our daughter for a session and they both came back with incredible pieces of work.
I encourage anyone looking for classes, beginner or advanced to check out this studio.
Sandra and Fred are inncredibly talented artists and genuinely wonderful people. They are so encouraging, and welcome anyone from any skill level – you feel like a million bucks after spending time here and learn a TON. Highly recommend for anyone, of any age.
I would highly recommend Urban Art Studio’s events for couples who would like to try something new. Fred was an amazing teacher making sure to teach us the right techniques to use while we progressed through the class. We ended up with a painting that I would proudly hang on my walls and it’s all thanks to Fred’s efforts.
Urban Art Studio 101 is a fantastic space for creativity!The atmosphere is inspiring, the instructors are skilled, and the sessions are engaging. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, it’s a great place to explore urban art.
I love Urban Art Studio 101! Fred & Sandra are so lovely and their support makes my art journey feel so much more fruitful. Thank you both for what you do.
Did the Starry Night Sky date, and it was an excellent two hour evening date! There was so much joy in the room, encouragement and creativity. The guidance and instruction was very inciteful and manageable—resulting in a fantastic painting at the end, a lot of learned techniques and an all around great time! The studio had a bunch of great snacks and it was such a thoughtfully crafted experience! I would highly recommend this experience to anyone and everyone.
Fred was honestly the best art instructor I have had and was very keen in getting to know how I envision art and taught me how to use my skills to showcase my art to the fullest potential. I am amazed how knowledgeable he is and the love he has for art and getting to know how people like myself envision art and to showcase me how to get better. I love when I come here and have a peace of mind knowing that this art studio lets you showcase art how you are supposed to envision it
The instructors are talented and supportive, and the studio has a relaxed, creative atmosphere. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, you’ll find the classes inspiring and fun. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore or improve their artistic skills!
I miss them. Now I am working in Yellowknife, but as soon as I can, I will be back. If you have dreamed of becoming an artist, let Fred and Sonya lead you on your path! I did… no turning back now!
