Summer Workshops
We have some exciting workshops scheduled for this summer. Please check our workshop page for more details.
The Academy of Realist Art
The Academy of Realist Art is a private academy that teaches drawing and painting in the old master tradition. The curriculum uses teaching techniques that are modeled on those of 19th Century European academies. Our step-by-step process teaches the important skills for representational painting.
Our curriculum is a 4-level program that, when completed, equips the graduate to confidently approach and overcome the most difficult projects in drawing and painting.
Students are taught individually in a group setting. Each student is guided, at his or her own pace, through assignments. The Academy in Boston is small and supportive with concepts and critiques offered by instructors who are atelier trained. Our students are respectful and helpful to one another.
ARA offers an intensive program granting a certificate in traditional drawing and painting upon graduation. One of the few such institutions in the world. ARA has a curriculum designed to produce the highest caliber of professional artists. We are an ARC Accredited atelier. We are affiliated with the Academy of Realist, Toronto Canada www.academyofrealistart.com
We offer guided tours by appointment. To schedule a tour please call (617) 426-3006 or send an email to ara_boston@academyofrealistart.com
Boston location
Located in the historic Leather District of Boston the academy has an exceptionally convenient location. South Station is only 1 block from the studio. From this transportation hub in Boston students can access Amtrak, Greyhound, commuter rail, bus and subway lines.
The Leather District is a vibrant neighborhood in Boston. Loft conversions and an eclectic mix of restaurants dot the area. The studio is nestled amid a small collection of charming buildings that housed leather manufacturing operations at the turn of the 19th century. They showcase the distinctive architecture of their time, New England red brick and cast iron construction with tall plate glass windows. The Rose Kennedy greenway helps to cocoon the neighborhood in greenery.
Historic and charming are the two words that best describe the cobblestone city of Boston. It’s a small city with easy access to the Atlantic Ocean. It is filled with museums, sports teams, and a multitude of historically significant sites. Its’ energetic pace comes in part from a large student population who live in the city while taking advantage of a myriad of world-class educational institutions.
