The Art Academy

LondonWe offer something distinct and increasingly rare: the best of an old-school atelier combined with the vibrancy and diversity of a contemporary art school. Founded in 2000 by artist Tanya Russell to meet the need for a skills based art education in the UK, we offer tuition in core artistic skills, whilst challenging students to develop their own practice informed by contemporary processes and theory. We preserve skills, whilst believing that art never stands still. What also sets us apart is our intensive and hands-on teaching approach. We are proud to offer the highest number of contact hours of any higher education art school in the UK across our academic courses.
