The National Academy School offers an intensive course of study designed to cultivate the creativity and achievement of each artist. Students choose either a two or three-year program. The Studio Art Intensive is ideal for artists who are continuing to develop their techniques, students considering an MFA or having just completed one, as well as educators or anyone looking to explore a long-held artistic passion. These current students speak to the value of the program:

I’m getting an MFA-caliber education every day . . . what’s exceptional about the experience is the emphasis on preparing the artist for the market and what to expect when you get there. —Dennis Bourke

I am a painter. My work goes step by step with my personal growth. I have been moving between Milan, London, Warsaw and New York, where I received a scholarship to attend the Studio Art Intensive. The program is a gathering point for international artists coming from a variety of fields and working in different media. It’s flexible, open- minded, stimulating–the best place for me to keep developing my unique language in visual arts. —Malgosia Malinowska

I love the freedom of exploring different media, techniques, and forms of artistic expression. The small class size allows for plenty of one-on-one time with teachers, each with their own style and area of expertise. —Jennifer Brickman

Compared to other programs I’ve studied in, this is a warm and friendly place. —Carolynne Fromme

Satisfy your hunger for art and stoke your creative drive in the Studio Art Intensive, characterized by one-to-one mentoring, cultural diversity and affordability.
