At MTRS we believe that the arts provide important and unique opportunities for all students to build confidence, creative know-how, and skills for collaboration and communication. Guided by the "Principles of Possibility", learning in the visual arts supports critical thought, self-discovery, and empowered learning and making.

In studio art classes we explore a variety of media in the design process -- a powerful tool for experiential learning. In an increasingly visual world it is important that students gain literacy, facility, and appreciation for the ways that visual culture is connected to our lives.

We are proud to offer an array of courses to meet students at any level of experience and to support their growth and pursuit of advanced training, should they desire. All courses center hands-on project-based learning. At MTRS everyone belongs in the studio!
