Crafting the Next Generation of Creatives
We are a community of artists, designers, and storytellers dedicated to pushing the boundaries of visual arts education.
Our Story
Visual Arts Academy started with a simple idea: creative education should be practical, exciting, and accessible. Founded in 2019 by a group of industry veterans, we saw a gap between academic theory and the real-world skills studios were looking for.
We set out to bridge that gap. We designed our curriculums backwards from job descriptions, consulted with top design firms, and built a space that feels more like a studio than a classroom. Today, VA Academy is a leading destination for aspiring designers and editors.
