Thank You for 10 Incredible Years of Santa Fe Art Classes!

Dear Creative Souls,

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has joined me and my instructors over the years at Santa Fe Art Classes.

It has been an absolute joy to inspire you and watch so many of you discover your creative potential.

From beginners to experienced artists, it has been my honor to guide you on your artistic journey.

With over 10 years voted TripAdvisor's #1 painting class and winning multiple Awards including Travelers' Choice, Distinguished Teachers, NY Times article and more, I am incredibly proud of all we’ve achieved together.

In an exciting turn of events, I now embark on a new chapter of my life.

The decision to close the doors of Santa Fe Art Classes tugs my heart, yet offers a new, exciting chapter: I will be focusing on one-on-one private lessons, collector studio visits, and small, intimate retreats (3-5 days).

This allows me a deeper dive into the art-making process. These retreats, designed for artists at all levels, will take place in my personal studio located behind the Santa Fe opera, offering an inspiring, expansive environment for those ready to take their creativity to the next level.

To continue receiving exciting announcements and invitations for my small-group, intimate retreats held twice yearly, please email me to be added to the mailing list.

I now still split my time between NYC and Santa Fe. I’m thrilled to continue offering private sessions and studio visits for those interested in a more personalized experience.

To book a session or for more information, please don’t hesitate to call or email me directly.

Thank you once again for being a part of this wonderful community. I look forward to continuing to inspire and support your creative endeavors in a more intimate and personalized way.

Warmly,
Robbi Firestone

  • Painting with Santa Fe Art Classes is not to be missed!!! Why just look at art in Santa Fe when you can create some too? A private painting class with Robbi the owner of Santa Fe Art Classes was just joyful as well as giving me great things to try at home, and I left feeling like I have a new friend in Santa Fe! Highly recommend booking a class, she teaches groups as well, and is right next to the Plaza. Thank you Robbi & Santa Fe Art Classes, I hope to get to visit again!!

  • Not your typical drop in paint class! So much more!!! Robbi provided the most amazing art experience. Her 2+ hour art lesson not only reviews the fundamentals of acrylic technique (color, brush stroke) but the feeling and interpretation of your own art. It was the most enjoyable experience I’ve had with girlfriends in a while. I would highly recommend this for an afternoon out with friends! She will not disappoint!

  • Santa Fe Painting Fun Robbi was very inviting & guided us through a fun process of painting our scene! We thought we each could pick our individual picture to paint which would would have been super but we had to choose one picture for each of us to paint. Great experience in beautiful picturesque Santa Fe!

  • I treated some of my clients to this experience and everyone had a great time. All but one of us were rank beginners so painting can be intimidating. Robbi made everyone totally comfortable.

  • A Must take art class! This woman is amazing!! 6 of us were here in Santa Fe on a girls trip with completely different artistic backgrounds from myself with no artistic bone in my body to an interior designer/musician with great vision and a very artistic background. We all LOVED the class and particularly loved Robbi’s teaching style and her energy. After class she “read” our paintings like she was reading our souls and completely nailed who we each were individually through our piece. It was incredible and Robbi makes it so meaningful with her extra attention to each individual and her amazing intuition. Highly recommend.

  • An Amazing Two Hours! Maggie loves art and picked Santa Fe. I found Robbie’s site here and booked the three of us a two hour art class. The goal was to complete a painting, using acrylics, during this time. Robbie did an excellent job explaining techniques to use with this type of media. Maggie selected a painting from the many samples Robbie presented and we set to work. At the end of two hours the obvious artist with a beautiful painting was Maggie! My husband’s was fairly good and mine was headed to the trash. After the class we toured some of the galleries on Canyon Road. I realized I will never look at a painting the same after the things I learned from Robbie. So, although I can’t paint, I had a fun time and learned so much about art. My daughter now has a beautiful painting she had framed hanging in her home. Thank you, Robbie!
