Give the Gift of an Experience – Not Just a Thing

This holiday season, skip the ordinary and give something truly unforgettable –

the gift of creativity with a Raminfard School of Arts Gift Card.


Why Give an Experience?

 

Unlike a sweater that shrinks or a gadget that breaks, an artistic experience only grows more valuable over time.

A painting session, a private lesson, or a creative workshop can inspire someone for years to come.

RSA Gift Cards can be used toward:

  • 🎨 Art lessons for all skill levels

  • 🖌️ One-day workshops in painting, drawing, and design

  • 🥂 Paint parties and creative group events

  • 🛍️ Art supplies and materials from our in-studio shop

 

Whether it’s a friend who’s always wanted to paint, a student preparing for art school, or a loved one rediscovering their passion, this is a gift that sparks joy, growth, and creativity.


How It Works

 

You choose the amount.

They choose the experience – or the supplies that inspire one.

Gift cards never expire and can be applied to any RSA offering or material purchase.

They’re easy to buy online or in person, and we can even personalize them with a message from you.


Make It Memorable

 

Art is more than a hobby – it’s a way to express, connect, and grow.

When you give an RSA gift card, you’re not just giving a lesson –

you’re giving someone the chance to explore their imagination and create something lasting.

give the gift of art.

Portfolio Development at RSA

🎓 Preparing Teen Artists for College: Portfolio Development at RSA

 

At the Raminfard School of Arts (RSA), we understand that building a standout art portfolio can be the key to unlocking opportunities at top colleges and art schools. That’s why we’ve created a dedicated portfolio development program designed specifically for teens who are ready to take their artistic journey to the next level.

🎨 Why a Strong Portfolio Matters

For aspiring art majors, a well-crafted portfolio is more than just a collection of artworks—it’s a visual narrative of growth, creativity, and technical skill. College admissions teams look for originality, a range of techniques, and a deep understanding of composition, concept, and craftsmanship.

✏️ What We Offer at RSA

  • Customized One-on-One Coaching: Personalized instruction to identify strengths, improve weaknesses, and build a strategic roadmap.
  • Medium & Style Exploration: Develop a range of work including observational drawings, figure studies, and conceptual art.
  • Professional Presentation: We guide students through photographing, editing, and formatting artwork for submission.
  • Concept Development: Learn to communicate ideas and refine your personal artistic voice.
  • Deadline Management: Stay on track with submission timelines, artist statements, and more.

🏫 Ideal for Students Applying to:

  • Art schools like RISD, Otis, ArtCenter, Pratt, and Parsons
  • University art programs such as UCLA, USC, CalArts, and CSUs
  • AP Art or IB Visual Arts programs requiring portfolio submissions

🗓 Flexible Scheduling & Ongoing Support

We offer weekly private lessons, small group sessions, and intensive workshops tailored to portfolio students. Whether your teen is just beginning or finalizing their application, we provide expert support every step of the way.
