buzzworthy Millburn ONE RIVER SCHOOL OPENS LOCALLY It’s never too late — or too early — to be an artist. The just-opened ONE RIVER SCHOOL OF ART + DESIGN in Millburn is the company’s sixth location. In the adult classes, students paint, sculpt, draw and work with mixed media in small group settings; they may also take digital design and photography classes. There are plenty of options for teens and kids, too, includ- ing summer camps that can help build portfolios. One River is the brainchild of Matt Ross, the former chief executive of the School of Rock chain of academies; the “one river” in the title refers to the Hudson, which separates New York City and New Jersey. 292 Millburn Ave., (973) 318-9331, millburn.oneriverschool.com Millburn THE BUZZ ON THE BUSY BEE Parents of young kids know that there can never be too many play options available to families.
