For those looking to pick up a new skill or hobby, the Jersey City Art School is one of the best options out there. Located on 313 3rd Street in Jersey City, the school is for beginners and seasoned art veterans alike.

About the Jersey City Art School
According to its website, the Jersey City Art School is focused on the “growth of the individual artist — those involved can learn new skills, build a portfolio, or just hone their existing technique in an environment that fosters communication, even friendship, with others who have the same interests and talent.”

The school offers one-time workshops, as well as sessions of 4, 6, or 8. The longer classes include things like drawing, watercolors, digital photography, and oil painting, and the benefit of signing up for these extended classes is that you will really hone your skills as an artist. It’s also a great way to make some new friends in the area who you may not have met otherwise.
Workshops + Kids’ Programs
Workshops are available on a limited-time basis, with the school currently offering a Pet Painting Workshop with watercolor. And, if you have little ones who show an interest in the arts, you’re going to love the Jersey City Art School Kids’ Academy. It features single-time after-school courses, including calligraphy or animation, and a summer school program with 5 classes per week.
Also, keep an eye out for the school’s printmaking workshops. The Hoboken Girl attended one, and it showcased three different types of printmaking: linocut, monotype, and fabric stamping. The instructors were knowledgeable and easygoing, helping us perfect our works of art without judgment. There was a great mix of veteran artists and first-timers in the room, and everyone was extraordinarily friendly and willing to offer advice or compliments.
