Our Story
Formerly known as Artorium Inc., Art Voyage Studio has a rich legacy of fostering artistic talent. Established in Chicago in 2004 by Stefan and Barbara Niedorezo, the art school formally opened its doors on Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago in 2010. Continuing this tradition, their son Maciej and a talented crew of former students, now holding degrees in the field, have brought this passion for art to Des Plaines.
At Art Voyage Studio, we offer personalized small group classes in classical art forms, including drawing, pastels, oil painting, watercolor and acrylic canvas painting, carving, clay, and other mixed mediums. Our dedicated instructors ensure that each student receives individual attention, helping them to develop their unique artistic voice.
We believe that art education is a vital complement to traditional schooling, providing much-needed creative exploration and expression. Join us at Art Voyage Studio to enhance your artistic skills, explore new mediums, and become part of a vibrant community of artists. Whether you're looking to augment your art education or seeking a creative outlet, we invite you to embark on this artistic journey with us.
A New Chapter at St. John Brebeuf As our studio continues to grow, we are thrilled to begin a beautiful new chapter at St. John Brebeuf Parish in Niles. Our move to this welcoming campus opens the door to a brighter, more spacious environment where creativity can flourish and young artists can feel truly at home. Classroom #4 will become a warm hub of imagination — a place where faith, community, and artistic expression meet. We believe this transition will allow us to inspire our students in even greater ways, offering them not only art instruction, but a space filled with light, joy, and possibility. This new location reflects our mission: to nurture talent, encourage curiosity, and build an artistic family rooted in purpose and heart.
Art Voyage Studio offers a dynamic array of seasonal workshops and summer programs designed to immerse artists of all levels in creative exploration. Our workshops provide intensive, focused instruction on specific techniques and projects, perfect for those looking to enhance their skills or try something new.
Art Workshops for Children: Inspire Creativity and Development
Art Voyage Studio offers enriching workshops designed to ignite creativity and foster development in children. Engaging in art allows children to explore their imagination, develop fine motor skills, and enhance cognitive abilities. Our workshops provide a supportive environment where young artists can experiment with different mediums, learn essential artistic techniques, and express their emotions freely. Through art, children build confidence, learn to problem-solve, and develop social skills through collaborative projects. Join us at Art Voyage Studio to nurture your child's creativity and witness their growth in a fun and encouraging setting.
Art Workshops for teens: Unwind and Create,
For teens, Art Voyage Studio offers energizing after-school programs that nurture creativity, confidence, and personal growth. Our classes give students a meaningful break from academic pressures, providing a space to unwind, explore, and express themselves freely. Artistic expression plays a vital role in healthy development—helping teens build problem-solving skills, strengthen focus, boost emotional resilience, and discover their own creative voice. Through painting, drawing, sculpture, and design, students learn to think independently, collaborate with peers, and translate ideas into meaningful work. Join us after school to develop your talents, expand your imagination, and grow in a supportive and inspiring artistic community. Contact us for more information.
