The Next Generation of Art

Dear Friends,

My name is Yeleezaveta and I am an artist.  I am raising money for my first year at the Florence Classical Arts Academy in Florence, Italy.


WHY SUPPORT A YOUNG ARTIST?
Since the patronage of the Medici family over 500 years ago towards Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Donatello, and Raphael (the artists, not the ninja turtles,) the success of artists has been heavily dependent on the sponsorship of patrons like you. Your support will allow me to become the best artist I can be.

WHAT IS THE MONEY FOR?
I am enrolled in the Florence Classical Arts Academy for the 2019-2020 school year. FCAA trains young people from all over the world through their unique method of applied knowledge to become professional artists that can paint and draw both from models and from imagination.

At FCAA I will receive:
Instruction in Drawing, Artistic Anatomy, Painting and Composition.
Housing at the school
Extended  Studio hours by living at the school.

Tuition for the school is $14,400 and housing is $6,660 per year.  All money raised will go directly towards these costs.

Thank You!
