About the provider

Urban Arts was founded in 2006 by Justine Uva and Patricia Morale. The organization has provided enrichment classes to schools since 2017. It also curates student art shows throughout the year, and student art exhibitions give students the chance to share their work with family, friends, and the community.

No drop-in classes are offered. Students may register anytime during a session depending on availability, and tuition will be prorated. If Urban Arts needs to cancel a class due to unforeseen circumstances, a make-up class will be provided. Adult students can begin at any time but must commit to 6 classes. Tuition is due in full one week prior to first class. A $25 fee will be charged for late payments. Tuition refunds and withdrawals are subject to processing fees and deadlines as stated.

What families say

“Thank you so much for all the extra effort and love that went into sending us the video of all the children's art, and for doing the outside show, and just -- everything. Your positive, safe and sensible approach to having classes during the pandemic has meant so much to us. We are so grateful you are part of the community and part of our kids' lives.” — Theta

“Patty and Justine are those rare teachers with the capacity to tap into a student's greatest potential. They teach toddlers to adults with equal passion and enthusiasm.” — Jody L

“My daughter said the other day that if her whole school was like Urban Arts, life would be perfect so I'm looking for ways to amplify her time there.” — Veronica
