Mission Renaissance is a Southern California business chain that tutors people of all ages in painting and drawing. It aims to prove that artistic talent can be acquired through proper training. Since 1975, M:R has been teaching children ages 5 to 12, teens 12 to 17 and adults 18 and up the very basics of geometric drawing all the way up to imitating the styles of Cezanne and Da Vinci. Artists at easels line the shotgun-style building one to three times daily while program directors Patricia and August watch and teach.
