The Ashland Academy of Art is a classically based, independent school, committed to the restoration of the fundamental values of art. The Academy’s program is modeled after the Russian academic system. This system was founded on the artistic achievements of the Renaissance, which were widely practiced in European Academies until the end of the 19th century.
With the onslaught of 20th century Modernism, this rich classical tradition was abandoned by Western art institutions and educators. During this time the Russian Academy became the only educational system dedicated to the preservation and advancement of the artistic heritage of the Renaissance.
Our mission is to provide aspiring artists the training that has been denied by contemporary art education. The Academy’s extensive curriculum was designed to give students a mastery of drawing and painting, making it one of the few such schools worldwide.
