About the Studio Notes from Lindsay Art Always is an art school for children, teenagers and adults located in the Brushworks Arts and Industry building in Florence, MA. The studio runs group classes, after-school workshops, private lessons, parent/child workshops and birthday parties out of a beautiful studio overlooking the Mill River. Its mission is to provide a fun and supportive environment where students feel safe to explore and develop their art-making skills and creative potential. Art Always hopes to provide students with the skills and support needed to communicate visually and become more confident in their abilities as artists.
