2121 Bonar Street, Berkeley
Berkeley Painting Club was started by Rene Smith to host art programming for teens and adults. Students learn new skills and techniques in an environment that supports their creativity and artistic progress. The studio is located in Strawberry Creek Park in the same building as Hidden Cafe so there is access to both indoor and outdoor space for artmaking. During our full day youth programming kids spend time outside at the park every day.
René received her M.F.A. in Painting from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia and her B.A. in Painting from Bennington College in Vermont. She has taught portfolio preperation classes for high school students at Tyler School of Art and Moore College of Art and beginning undergraduate through MFA painting classes at several institutions including St. Thomas Aquinas College in NY, Temple University in Rome, and Chiang Mai University in Thailand. She recently had a solo show of her pastels at Et Al Gallery in San Francisco.
