Founded
in 2000, the Long Island Academy
of Fine Art was established as a studio
school for the study of traditional painting
and drawing. Located in Riverhead and Glen Cove, LIAFA offers
courses in classical drawing, painting,
and sculpture. The main objective of the
program is to equip students with the knowledge
necessary to create contemporary art rooted
in traditional realism.
Students at the Academy come from all
over Long Island and New York City to attend
classes and workshops. Classes are taught
by award-winning, classically trained artists
who exhibit nationally and whose works are
in both public and private international
collections.
