Artichoke Art Studio was created in 1999 by Ksenia Litvak. Since then the studio has become a successful art school for children, teenagers, and adults. The art program includes painting, graphic arts, composition, sculpture, puppet-making, and art history. Out students that wish to pursue art as a career have been accepted into prestigious art programs, including New York's Pratt Art College, Savannah Washington Institute of Art, Cleveland Art Institute, Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), George Mason University, and others. Every summer the studio also offers popular girls-only sleep-away summer camp.
