Had a great time decorating ornaments with Beth! The space was so inviting, creative & clean. I’ve attended another adult class (abstract painting), and it was equally as fun! Would 10/10 recommend!
I inquired via email about their art program. Hannah was very kind and super responsive. My daughter has been thoroughly enjoying her experience here and says she loves her teachers. She’s also coming home with very cool projects. I am eager to see what’s in store for next session.
I tried to register my daughter for this program back in august and was told that she had to be 8 yrs old. The director let me know that seats might open up for the winter session so we waited 4 months for her to turn 8 and now they are telling me she has to be 9. Very rude on the phone. No program is that special for us to be treated like we’re being done a favor.
*Also see in a review that they admitted an 8 year old 5 months ago.
“We’re not babysitters”
“You can go anywhere else”
“We have a very long wait list”
Some gems for y’all to enjoy.

What a gem in Queens! I took a 6-week Saturday Intro to Pottery Wheel with Tina. Tina is a great teacher! I have taken 2 other Intro to Pottery courses (5 weeks each) but her teaching style was attentive and very supportive. She will check in on you 1-on-1 and see if you have any specific questions for her. I made pieces I did not think I would be making in my first few months learning.
Additionally, the studio is very spacious in comparison to others I have learned it. It was helpful that the pottery wheels face towards the middle of the room so Tina could also walk by and offer help or advice. It was also easy to watch demonstrations when Tina was teaching.
I can't wait to come back for another class or for exhibitions in their gallery!

Wonderful instruction and very welcoming community. AlterWorks pottery class gave me something to look forward to every week. Can’t wait to sign up again!
Great spot to take a class and learn a new skill set. It’s hard to get into classes, they sell our quick. You have to be on top of it to get in. I would recommend coming here for a class for sure.
I had completed three rounds of classes already. Very proud of my progress from a beginner beginner to a relatively comfortable potter. Will come back for another round of hand making classes for certain.
Great program, we’ve done a birthday party, afterschool, day and summer camps and my daughter (5 yr old) always loves it! Teachers are great, projects are creative, and include a variety of materials.
Great studio, great people. I took the beginning pottery class. It was a beautiful experience. Sign up for classes, they fill up fast!
Excellent fine arts school in Long Island City. I am so happy that I found Bridgeview for my daughter’s arts instruction. They are serious, committed and rigorous. Five stars is not enough!
Exceptional teaching. My children and I have gone up several levels in artistic technique and understanding over the last three years. The teachers take their work very seriously and that's reflected in the students' extraordinary results. Our 11 year old daughter loves going and has created some excellent work. She has developed enormous self-discipline and can work for hours and still can't wait to come back each week. Our teenage boy made enormous progress as well. We travel from PA because there's nothing like this school anywhere else. We just love Lena and all the outstanding teachers, esp Boris and Sasha. They are incredibly gifted artists and teachers and we feel very lucky to get to work with them.
Bridgeview Art School has been an amazing place for my daughter to hone her budding artistic qualities. They have been great about working with her for her high school portfolio and are very knowledgeable about what needs to be included. Highest recommendations for Bridgeview Art!!!!
Our daughter has been attending Bridgeview for almost 5 years, and she has grown as an artist. She is always around talented children and amazing teachers who are supportive and very professional. This art school is a gem.
This was our son's first semester with the Bridgeview School and he had a wonderful experience. Our son is only 8 yrs old and we thought he won't have patience to paint for 2 hrs but to our surprise, he enjoyed a lot. The teachers are very knowledgeable and know how to work with kids. Lena gave our son options in painting and freedom to choose and expresses his way but with her guidance of learning. Our son will definitely enroll for fall classes.
My daughter has had an absolutely phenomenal experience at Bridgeview, under the tutelage of Boris. The amount of improvement seen in her skill in phenomenal, and the increased study/portfolio building allowed her to get accepted into her #1 choice for High School. Could not recommend more.
This has been such a great program for my daughter. She's been attending classes for a year and she has gained a ton of skill and confidence. Excellent teachers make this a perfect learning environment.
would highly recommend taking the classes here. reasonably priced and comes with 18 extra hours of studio time. both Tina and Stella are great instructors - I will say, Tina will definitely push you more to try spinning with more clay and larger pieces if you need that motivation. the classes are super small (I think 8 seats per class) so you really get some great one on one time with your instructor. they sell out fast, usually within an hour, so sign up for alerts on their website.
My boyfriend and I took the intro to wheel class and it was so rewarding and fun! Tina was an amazing instructor. I've done a pottery class before and I remember it being super difficult and frustrating, but somehow the way Tina taught really clicked with me and I felt like I really got the hang of it. I'm so excited to see my pieces once they're fired! Highly recommend this class if you're considering it.
My 18 month old loves the classes at Art Strong so much! The activities are always different and super creative. I love that he brings something home after each class! Can't recommend this spot more :)
Art Strong is hands down one of the best Art & Sensory locations for toddlers & children in NYC, we’re so happy and lucky they decided to run out of Long Island City. I’m the mother of a toddler whose been taking their Little Explorers class, we’re blown away weekly by all the creative, fun, well thought out sensory tables and art stations they design each week.
Additionally, they take extra steps to ensure safe ingredients, washable / nontoxic art supplies, and safe mediums for young toddlers use and explore during each class. We’ve taken a few different sensory/art classes in Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan and nothing has compared to incredible and creative stations that Art Strong creates each week. Grateful for the wonderful classes they provide!

Art Strong is simply the best! Our son attended 5 weeks of summer camp and was absolutely thrilled with the program. I was also blown away by the thoughtful and unexpected interpretations of the theme each week. At Art Strong the students learned about famous artists, connected stories to the projects, and explored tons of different mediums. The campers also curated a gallery show at the end of each week. It was amazing to see how excited and proud the kids were to share their artwork with their families. I cannot recommend this program enough and we will be back!
Art Strong is a gift to the LIC area. The studio is run by 2 former teachers who are both incredibly talented, creative and great with kids. My little one has been the studio since she was two, and is currently there for summer camp. She comes home everyday very very excited to talk about the activities and crafts she worked on. Their theme based crafts are well thought out and administered, and they use a wide range of materials (shaving cream, chickpeas, clay) which is so refreshing for young children. Ashley, Hannah - thank you for bringing your skills to this neighborhood!
Hands-down one of the best kids program in Long Island city. We sent our two boys (6yrs old and 4yrs old) here for their weekly summer camp. Our boys came home after the first day begging for us to sign them up for a second week.
The teachers did an amazing job encouraging and fostering our kids’ imaginations and creativity. The boys always came home excited to show me what they had made and the story behind their creations.
At the end of the week, they put on an art show and invited all the parents. This was quite possibly the cutest thing ever. My kids were SO excited to have their pieces of art on display and to have my husband and I walk around to look at it all.
Very highly recommend this program, even if your kid isn’t super into art. Other things to note: was really impressed with the amount of high quality material used/given to the kids! Most art classes in the area just use construction paper and regular markers etc. My kids left art strong with a finished stuffed animal, a wooden action figure, a canvas-cape etc!

Amazing art studio! I took the beginners pottery class and oil painting class and loved both. Small class sizes to allow a lot of one on one interaction with instructors. Plus the classes come with free studio time. The owner is lovely and always there to help. The studio has long hours too which is great for people with a hectic work schedule. Will definitely be signing up for more classes or studio time.
