For Art's Sake Studio - Westlake Village, California

My daughter, Ava, has been attending this incredible art class since she was 9 years old (13 now), and I couldn't be more grateful for the experience. Over the years, I've watched her grow—not just as an artist, but as a creative, confident, and well-rounded young person. The environment is warm, inspiring, and truly professional, thanks to the dedication and passion of the space's owner, Celeste and her awesome staff!

Ava has gained so much respect for the creative process, which has led her into other areas of creativity outside of class, such as designing and making her own clothes - I attribute this new skill to her time spent at For Art's Sake Studios.

I wholeheartedly recommend this class to anyone looking for a place where young artists can thrive!

I can't say how much I love and appreciate For Art's Sake Studio! My daughter had an incredible Bluey-themed birthday party at the studio -- Celeste did such an incredible job of creating an activity that was fun, engaging and still hangs in my daughter's room two years later! After, she took the crochet class at the studio which was really very special. Now, we'll be having another birthday party at the studio and we just can't wait. I'm so glad I found For Art's Sake -- the teachers are really great and the owner, Celeste, is such a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them for art classes, birthday parties AND summer camps!

I look forward to coming to the studio every Tuesday and Thursday morning. I am a beginning painter and have always received positive feedback and detailed support, I need it, for all my projects. 🙂
Celeste is an incredible teacher who takes all her students from their current level, and gently pushes them to acquire new skills. Celeste is patient, kind, and so very talented. I cannot imagine going anywhere else and am so happy to have found this hidden gem.

We love for Art Sake studio! Our 9 year old son has been going for a couple years and he loves it! He usually is a very busy kid that doesn’t sit still and we are amazed at his focus and love of art at the studio. We also have the benefit of getting so many great artwork pieces he has made. We have given them to family as gifts and everyone is in awe that an 8-9 year old boy created such beautiful art!

For Art's Sake is the best! I take the Adult Class. I appreciate having both instruction and autonomy during long sessions. Celeste is thoughtful, so knowledgeable, and patient.

The reason I signed up for the classes as an adult is because I took art classes with the studio for most of my childhood! I loved it then, too! I returned to the area and was excited to see the growth of the program and studio, with the same care and technique-based learning!

thank you!

I have been going to the studio for over a year. The studio provides an exceptional learning environment and comfortable creative space. Celeste is a wonderful teacher who shares her expertise and experience. She tailors her input and guidance to your personal skill level and comfort. I have grown as an artist and look forward to being in the studio every week!

My daughter has been going there for 4 years since she was about 6 years old. Now at 10, she is painting, doing complex life drawing... they really scaffold the work for the kids, so literally anyone - with innate talent or not - can succeed. I can't speak more highly of Celeste and her team. We particularly loved Aya before she left and we were worried it wouldn't be the same, but then she brought in Jordan who is equally as fantastic.

For Art’s Sake Studio has been such a gem for our family since the moment we stepped in its doors! The studio is bright and airy and you can feel the creativity emanating from all of the students. The space itself is very inviting and relaxing. Celeste and Jordyn are kind and patient for both the younger kids (from our personal experience) as well as the older teens (what we’ve observed). Our daughter has been going to classes there for two years and has learned so much from both Celeste and Jordyn and calls the space her happy place. She loves coming to her art classes each week and we are excited to watch her grow as an artist in the coming years! We highly recommend this art studio for anyone wanting to expand their child’s skillset in a nurturing and supportive environment!!
