Welcome to RiverFront Studios.

Hello, we are Michael and Claire Puppos.

We are a husband and wife team, and we are passionate about sharing our love for the arts in our community.

Whether you are looking for options in art or music as a hobby for your children, as a supplement to your homeschool curriculum, or you are an adult interested in exploring your artistic side, we looking forward to serving your family.

(By the way, it’s pronounced PUP-iss…because we know you’re probably wondering.)
