Atelier School of Art 407 East 4th Street, Royal Oak, MI 48067

"I was part of a group of 4 artist friends who were searching for a venue to have an art show and sale. When we found Atelier School of Art we knew it was the perfect solution for us! What we did not expect was the absolutely warm and wonderful welcome we received from Ashley Murawa and Todd Burroughs, manager and owner. They welcomed us warmly and were on hand to answer any questions we had. During the week of installing the show, Ashley was there tirelessly working to hang the paintings on this Ingenius track of hooks, leveling everything as she went. With multiple people asking for Ashley's attention and advice she kept calm and got everything accomplished with time to spare. The night of our preview event Ashley was there to give us tips and help assemble the food. Todd and Ashley were on hand to graciously greet our guests adding that air of professionalism to the event! They loved having our show there and I would encourage you to think of Atelier School of Art if you would like the perfect venue to host your next art exhibit!"

"Four of us rented galley space at the Atelier School of Art for an art show which was held just this past weekend-November 10th &11th. Our experience was wonderful! Todd Burroughs, the owner, and Ashley Murawa, Studio Manager and Youth Director, warmly welcomed us and made us feel at home! The space is perfect for displaying works of art! It’s beautiful, light and airy and spacious! And we couldn’t have set it up without Ashley’s expertise, energy and positivity! She is a joy! I highly recommend the Atelier School of Art!"

"I have just completed the Charcoal Portrait Workshop with Shannon Fody and found the course to be very informative and helpful. Her portrait demo was informative on the preparation of the charcoal materials and her control of the medium, to produce her outstanding portraits."

"I had the privilege of taking a week long abstract painting workshop with Valerie Allen at Atelier this summer. The workshop, and Valerie, were outstanding, but even more importantly, this school itself is a wonderful place to learn. The environment is beautiful, full of light and well equipped. The staff go out of their way to make sure the students have what they need and were so very welcoming to us all. It was a delightful experience. I had to drive 90 miles one way to take this workshop and it was so worth it - I will definitely do it again."

"Great studio space! Wonderful instructors, great programs and staff. The owner, Todd generously shares his knowledge in different media and techniques. There are programs specializing in different media and subject matter. Really a great opportunity to learn more about any type of art that interests you."
