Accredited nonprofit art school offering full-time Core Programs in Drawing & Painting and Sculpture, plus Continuing Education for adults and Youth Programs including afterschool, portfolio prep, and summer courses. With a faculty of internationally recognized artists and scholars, we offer a comprehensive, multi-year program of disciplined study, integrating rigorous studio instruction in drawin

Our geography, located along the Connecticut River and in the heart of the celebrated Lyme Art Colony, and between the metropolitan centers of Boston and New York, is imbued with history and remains an active site of progressive artists’ congregation and camaraderie. Students at our Academy participate in this community, continuing an unbroken tradition of art education and practice while finding their own creative voice. From this unique vantage point and through their evolution, our legacy and future unite.
