Blue Door Studio has been offering art classes to students of all ages for the past 10 years. Claudia Venditto (RISD MAT 1995) studio owner and director also has 25+ years teaching experience in the Cranston Public School System. At Blue Door Studio we offer a sequential based art program for students of all levels (ages 4 to adult). We teach life long art skills that our students develop from the moment they walk through our Blue Door! Our learning environment is positive, enjoyable and educational. We excel at progressing our students’ development as artists. We feel it is important to teach technique and art vocabulary to strengthen our students’ skills as confident artists! Follow Blue Door Studio on Facebook and Instagram, and CCV Art by Claudia Crudele Venditto on Instagram at CCV_ART12. Art pieces are available for purchase and for rental to stage designers.


We proudly serve students from Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut.
