Four-Week Art Mentorship: In-Studio Immersive Experience


Join us for an intimate four-week art mentorship held live in Valerie Allen’s studio—an industrial and quirky space that is designed to inspire, challenge, and support your artistic growth. There is limited seating for a small group. Each weekly three-hour session blends hands-on artmaking with meaningful dialogue, guided mentorship, and exposure to contemporary artistic practices from around the world.

Throughout the program, you will:

  • Create new artwork during dedicated studio time supported by individualized guidance.
  • Engage in thoughtful discussions about the artistic and creative process, exploring how ideas develop and transform.
  • Receive constructive critiques in a supportive environment that encourages experimentation and refinement.
  • Experience live demos presented by Valerie in diverse mediums expanding your visual vocabulary and artistic awareness.
  • Dive into journal prompts that deepen self-reflection and creativity.
  • Respond to class prompts designed to challenge your practice, spark new directions, and build confidence.

This in-person mentorship is ideal for emerging and practicing artists seeking community, continuity, and structured creative development. Walk away with new work, new insights, and a renewed sense of artistic purpose—all nurtured within the energy of a working studio.

In-person studio mentorship package includes 4 three-hour Studio Sessions for a total investment of $350.00.

All the classes are on Wednesdays 1-4pm.

Yes, it is Michigan, so any classes cancelled due to weather or illness of instructor will be rescheduled. This is a "down and dirty" studio setting so wearing warm paint clothes is a must. Think New York loft in the days of Abstract Expressionism.

Suggested and easy to find supply list will be provided at registration.
