An elevator takes you to the second floor state-of-the-art studio space designed for optimum classroom and workshop experience. This classroom is also used for a meeting room and for a reception room when large exhibits of paintings fill the downstairs gallery.

Classes and workshops are arranged so that each artist has room to work on their own 6' table.

An audio-visual system featuring three large flat panel TVs enhances the demonstration and teaching environment.
