Our
Community
Our community counts 175 students in Florence, Sweden and the U.S., as well as almost 500 graduates from our three-year Certificate programs. Thanks to social media and the alumni association, we stay engaged with most of them, and are proud to know that 78% are working artists, that means during the past year they have either participated in solo exhibitions or group shows in galleries, international salons and competitions, or have formal gallery representation or regular presence with their work on Instagram. Of our graduates, 35% are currently teaching the methodology they learned at The Florence Academy of Art: 58 have started their own atelier style schools or are employed by accredited and non-accredited institutions including The Florence Academy of Art. Finally, 12% are employed in other art related fields like the movie industry and game art.
“Time will form its judgment of our work to build and sustain The Florence Academy of Art.
The opportunity to show here our community will perhaps one day be significant when the academy’s mission is fulfilled, and we can say to have contributed in a meaningful way to human culture. For now, we are so proud to see our graduates go out into the world as artists and teachers of the methodology they have learned while students.”
