The Arterie 2219 East Thousand Oaks Boulevard, Thousand Oaks, CA 91362

"Cara and her team are incredible! They are all so engaging with the children and at the same time just let them be to do their thing! I love that my 3 yr old is allowed to get messy and express herself through art here. Every week I we come home with 1-3 finished art projects to keep and cherish forever! I highly recommend this studio.... plus they always have SNACKS!!! ❤️"

"Our 5 year old daughter has been taking classes at the Arterie for over a year and we couldn’t be happier! We wanted to expose our daughter to different after school activities and we are so happy that we were able to find such an amazing art studio in the area. Our daughter looks forward to her classes every single week and she is always excited to show us her latest creations. Both Cara and Sarah have been the best teachers we could have asked for and our daughter even says she wants to be like her teachers when she grows up. We highly recommend "The Arterie" for anyone looking to explore art as an outlet of pure creativity and imagination!"

"My daughter has taken art classes after school and attended summer camp with Cara for over 3 years. In a world where art instruction can be cookie cutter (draw what I draw, paint what I paint) Cara is a breath of fresh air. She inspires children (and adults!) to put their own ideas into each piece. She is talented, encouraging and patient; Thousand Oaks is lucky to have The Arterie in their community."

"My 5-year-old twins have attended classes at The Arterie for over a year, and they love it! Cara offers the best art curriculum, teaching college level art in an age appropriate way. Kids are excited to dabble in multiple mediums and success is based on creativity, not the end product, which is SO important. I've attended The Arterie's adult paint nights and have had an amazing experience. I can't wait for the next."

"I was very impressed by The Arterie and the owner, Cara. She has many years of experience and it shows. Furthermore, her attention to detail and customer service are excellent. Would recommend that anyone bring their child here for a great experience."
