WELCOME

Welcome to all our students and parents.

Established in 2015, The Artist Lab is a vibrant and expansive art studio located in Irvine, California, within the Parkview Center at University Drive and the 405 Freeway. Originally founded as the "Little Artist Lab" in Tustin, our studio quickly earned the trust and admiration of art-loving families in nearby communities. In a few short years, our reputation has grown immensely, attracting over 600 families each week from across Orange County and beyond, both in-person and virtually.
