Miano Academy of Art is an atelier school, one of only about 80 in the world, and the only certified atelier in Florida. Our mission is to preserve Classical Realism in the face of the ever-changing landscape of digital art and the entertainment industry. Students work in a Renaissance guild-like setting with our founding Master Artist: Charles Miano.

Our programming focuses on three main areas:

Miano Academy of Art encompasses three main areas of education, each based on the needs of artists seeking practical art training in different stages of development:

* Atelier Apprenticeship – a rigorous, full-time, project/practice-based one-on-one study with Charles covering principles of drawing and painting in the classical tradition. This program is for artists dedicated to excellence in their craft. The Atelier Apprenticeship program will introduce a 5th Level focusing on narrative, large-scale painting in the coming year.

* Miano Method Online – a focused, systematic step-by-step training using a virtual platform that will reach over 50 countries by 2025. Artists in this program sharpen their skills with short-term projects. This year we are expanding our subject matter, adding weekend workshops, new content, free offerings and interactive discussions via online streaming, which will advocate for the atelier method and movement.

* Master Workshops – in-person intensive week-long workshops with master teachers from around the world which emphasize the importance of continued skill development for both established and beginning artists. This year our roster of industry-leading professionals will include some fresh faces and returning masters and will be updated regularly. Also, the theme and subject matter of the workshops will be diverse to speak to artists of varying interests.

We welcome artists from both near and far to benefit from academic style training both in-person and online. We hope you will join us on this Master's Journey as we focus our school on the heart of why we are all here: to honor and celebrate the workings of the natural world in light and form.

Thank you for your continued contributions to preserving Realism for future generations.
