We are an all-volunteer, non-profit corporation dedicated to teaching the fundamentals of traditional, representational art and training artists to become skilled, professional, self-sustaining members of society.
We believe that artists should be well-grounded in traditional skills. This aids the artist when the time arrives to branch off into more esoteric styles and creations. Artists should also be well-grounded in the essential skills of selling and marketing as well as the professional aspects of the art world. We want to eliminate the stereotype of the 'starving artist' from our vocabulary and remove the negative stereotypes that have developed about artists.
Together we will make it happen.
