Miano Academy of Art is a classical realism art school or "atelier." An atelier is a guild-style art school where apprentices learn from a master artist. These schools are outside of the "art institutions" and are far older, tracing their origins back to the Renaissance.

We provide foundational training in drawing and painting techniques through master workshops, globally recognized online classes, and our full-time guild-style program. We invite a new generation of artists to carry on the legacy of realism.

We are dedicated to the education of the beauty and truth in nature. We envision a world where the knowledge passed down to us through centuries is protected and honored in the art industry.

Your support helps advocate for the preservation of classical art and also helps make dreams come true for the apprentices we are training at a professional level.
