Details

Summer 2026 ran June 1 – August 7 (Monday–Friday, 9 AM–4 PM). Spring (STEAM + Art) and winter camps also run: Spring 2026 was March 16–20 and Winter 2025 was December 22–24. The next camp dates are not yet posted.

Our take

Art Wheel Studio has been family-owned since 2004 and teaches a classical, academic approach to drawing and painting. Instruction runs as a sequence of 8-week semesters grouped tightly by age and level: Kids I introduces three-to-five-year-olds to art through games and good habits, Kids 2 and Kids 3 build drawing and painting fundamentals across a rotating curriculum, Teen Studio Drawing and Painting take students into classical realism and technique, and a Portfolio Prep class helps older teens assemble AP, college, and scholarship portfolios.

The adult side runs drawing, painting, figure, portrait, and watercolor, and classes come as small groups or as semi-private and private lessons. The curriculum is built so a young beginner can progress all the way to portfolio-level work over successive semesters. For families not ready to commit to that, the studio runs camps in the summer, spring (a STEAM and art camp), and winter, plus single-session workshops. Classes are held at two family-run locations, in Roanoke and Frisco.

Local Tips

Art Wheel Studio has two locations — Roanoke, at 300 Bowie Street, and Frisco — and for a Southlake family the Roanoke studio is the close one, a short drive northwest. A few practical notes:

  • Classes run as 8-week semesters grouped by age and level, so it is a season-by-season commitment more than a drop-in; Fall 2026 enrollment is open.
  • Registration is an online form that asks which location you want and prompts a call-back consultation, rather than a self-serve class calendar, so you sign up and a teacher follows up to place your child.
  • Group classes are small (5–15 students), and semi-private or private lessons are available for students working on competition or portfolio pieces.

Camps run in summer (June through early August), spring, and winter, and there are single-session workshops through the year if you want to try the studio before committing to a semester.
