Hello Artists,

Welcome to Miano Academy of Art!

Our art academy was founded in 2007, in the sunny paradise of Sarasota, Florida. It was then fondly known as The Southern Atelier and became a workshop modeled after old master studios of antiquity. Here, artists can totally immerse themselves in the delights of studying the classical arts of drawing, painting and sculpture from nature.

Whether you are ready for the Master’s journey in the Apprenticeship, or you would like to peruse our online or master workshops, know that we are committed to excellence in art education and traditions of beauty that have their origins in the high art of history.

If you would like updates about future educational opportunities please sign up for our mailing list. Also, feel free to reach out to us with questions or comments. Our team is ready to assist you.

Thank you for visiting! May you find the deepest joy and contentment on the nourishing path of artistic growth. We hope you will make an appointment to come see us in person soon.

Warmest regards,

Charles Miano
