We threw her birthday party here this year, which was a total hit. If you are considering Art Heart I definitely recommended giving it a try! Marla is a wonderful director and the instructors are so kind and knowledgeable."

"Art First Arte Primero is an amazing after school and summer camp program. My three children attended for many years and had a wonderful time! They created art, explored our community, learned about the beautiful Mexican culture and gained an appreciation for all types of art genres. And, now they are old enough to volunteer with the program and are sharing their talents as mentors to the younger children. Highly recommended."
