One River Story

Our story is about passion for art and today’s digital possibilities. When you look at the abundance of innovative programs in New York City and the dearth that exists just “one river” west, it is clear where our name and our motivation came from. Our concept is based on some important tenets: We believe that people in New Jersey want access to the same amazing creative experiences that exist in abundance across the river. We are motivated to teach art and design in the most authentic and inspirational ways.  We want to provide these experiences at an affordable price near home.  

In today’s digital age, it is all about ideas.  The creative arts and digital landscape are changing by the minute and the tools of the trade are changing too.  So, we have decided to invest in the most current creative resources and develop a space where the process will be celebrated and shared.  Our space—our river—is packed with energy and is constantly flowing and changing.
