Programmes
The Academy’s core curriculum is based on two and three year Diploma programmes. However, shorter stays are possible. Part-time students may attend one trimester (the 11-week Single Trimester programme), and Guest students may attend our Intensives held each trimester. We also offer our popular Summer Seminar in Italy.
Each trimester, students work on two original paintings (while also completing a series of studies) wherein the two trimester teachers transmit their own techniques and spiritual vision.
Over the course of two years, Diploma Students cycle through new pairs of teachers each trimester, painting a total of 12 canvases under different teachers by the end.
Thematically, studies progress from The Humanist Style (the ‘Western’ Canon of Classical Greek & Renaissance Art) in the Fall Trimester, to The Hieratic Style (the ‘Eastern’ Canon of Ancient, Islamic & Hindu-Buddhist Art) in the Winter Trimester, to Visionary Art (which combines the Humanist & Hieratic Styles throughout history) in the Spring Trimester.
There is no submission process. Our courses are open to all, regardless of age or previous experience. However, please note that studio space is limited to approximately 20 places per year. Places are reserved on a first come, first serve basis.
