This week we connect with Emiko Chiappetta! After many years of professional teaching, Emiko has branched out with her very own art education studio with the Reid Street Studio, located at 920 61st Street! Reid Street Studios specializes in group and one-on-one art studio experiences for ages 3-18. For details, check out their website here!  

Emiko is also joined in our studio with her husband, Tony Chiappetta, fourth-generation owner of Chiappetta Shoes, 4820 75th Street. Tony appeared on the show with his brother Nick on episode 145 (November 2023).
