The Grand Central Academy of Art
The Grand Central Academy of Art was created by professional, exhibiting artists to offer classical training to serious students. The Academy offers a positive environment for classical, progressive instruction of drawing and painting.
The goal of the Academy is to train a generation of highly skilled, aesthetically sensitive artists in the humanist tradition.
The further mission of the Grand Central Academy is to offer a public place for the revival of the classical art tradition; to foster and support a community of artists in pursuit of aesthetic refinement, a high level of skill and beauty.
