Our Story

Founded in 2008 by Jian Lu in Marietta, Georgia, Art 365 is dedicated to providing K-12 children with comprehensive art education, including various afterschool art lessons and specialized art portfolio coaching for college admissions. Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that artistic expression is inherent in everyone, and that the process of learning and creating art should be an enjoyable and liberating experience, regardless of a student's current skill level. To maintain engaging and dynamic learning environments, we introduce new projects or themes for each class.

Art 365 is also distinguished by its robust faculty specializing in art portfolio coaching. This expertise has enabled numerous talented students to gain admission to highly selective institutions such as the Rhode Island School of Design, Parsons School of Design, the School of Visual Arts, and other esteemed art schools. We are excited to announce our plans for expansion in 2024, with two new branches anticipated to open in Marietta, Georgia, and Johns Creek, Georgia.

At Art 365, we are committed to fostering a supportive environment where students can fully immerse themselves in art. Our goal is to cultivate a sense of collective joy and fulfillment as students acquire new skills and apply them to create unique, high-quality artwork they can be proud to showcase.
