Offering fine art drawing and painting classes, camps, and workshops for kids and teens in Santa Monica and Manhattan Beach since 2011.

Founded in Manhattan Beach in 2011 by artist and educator Alyce Marie, Alyce's Art Studio has taught fine art drawing and painting to more than 4,000 kids and teens. With studios in Manhattan Beach and Santa Monica, we offer ongoing weekly classes, camps, teen portfolio programs, manga drawing, and art birthday parties for students ages 6–17. All instructors are degree-holding, gallery-exhibited working artists. Since 2011 we've raised over $30,000 for charities including Free Arts LA and The Memory Project, and our teen students have exhibited work in galleries across Los Angeles.
