My son loved his cartooning class. He often has strong opinions about camps, but he was excited every day to go to One River.

I've been taking art classes at One River Evanston for a year and I look forward to my class each week. Our instructor, Marisa, is amazing! We've covered all forms of media and the best part is One River provides all the supplies needed to create our art projects.

My son and I attended One River's Pumpkin Painting Event this past weekend. We had so much fun. Our host Grace was incredibly kind. Would love to return to take more art classes.
