Welcome to The Art Academy!
We’ve served the Minneapolis/St. Paul community for 19 years as artists and teachers, and have proudly helped turn thousands of students into confident adults and skilled artists.
Our goal is excellence in traditional art education, for children and adults, beginning to advanced. We stress practice over talent and focus on building skills which in turn build confidence.
We firmly believe that all students, given the right amount of time, encouragement and proper instruction, have natural abilities to draw and paint well. Repeatedly we have seen dramatic improvements in students who put forth their best efforts on a regular basis; unlocking the artistic potential that too often remained dormant throughout their lives.
“Fine art is that in which the hand, the head and the heart go together."
-John Ruskin
1819-1900
