Welcome!
I am so glad you have decided to be a M.A.D. Artist! Make A Difference Art Studio is what we hope every artist feels is their home away from home. Art is such an important part of every generation. It gives a window for the future to look back upon. Each artist is encouraged to use the studio to the best way that is suiting for them. We rent the studio to some artists so that they can come at their leisure. We teach classes and hold private classes as well. MAD stays faithful in holding seasonal events and or camps as well as spotlighting a Featured Artist each month. The arts are not limited to visual, we also hold piano lesson.

The MAD Studio Education
MAD Studio offers many different classes based on your needs. All skill levels are welcomed. We follow the "We Be Free" curriculum in order to teach our students to develop their own unique style and have fun with it. We stress, TO CREATE NOT TO IMITATE! All classes consist of basic color theory and value and are designed by Founder and Director of MAD, Christalyn Brooks. Fine art drawing, painting, and sculpture classes are also held at MAD.
