What People Have Said

Arts Visalia Visual Art Center is an EXCELLENT resource for kids to get them interested in the arts at an early age...drawing, painting, and craft, plus much more. My nephews and neice are an active part of their youth program and they absolutely love it!- Melissa N.

The classes are educational regarding art and art history and at the same time fun projects to do. My children are very proud of their projects and creations!- Annie

We did lots of fun things in class, paint and free draw. I would like to do it again.- Kaitlin
