Blaine's Art Kids Classes
About
Midtown art supply store with kids' classes
Blaine's Art is a long-running Anchorage institution on Photo Avenue in Midtown — part art supply store, part custom frame shop, part teaching studio. The kids' classes are taught by Renee and run in the same building where families can also pick up supplies for home.
Kids' art classes
Small-group classes taught on-site. Classes include:
- Kids' drawing and painting fundamentals
- Mixed media exploration
- Seasonal themed projects
- Youth art workshops
- Adult classes (separate track for older students/parents)
What's Included
- Materials provided for class projects
- Instructor-led small group format
- Access to Blaine's art supply retail (student discounts often apply)
- Custom framing available for finished work
- Coffee bar on-site for parents waiting
- Long store hours (open weekends)
Experience
The supply-store-plus-classroom combo is practical — kids learn technique and parents can grab any extra materials on the way out. A good fit for Midtown / University-area Anchorage families wanting art instruction from an established local business rather than a short-lived studio.
