Workshops
In 1992, the American Academy of Equine Art, Inc. realized its original goal of becoming a teaching organization. Academy workshops are open to anyone interested in equine art, whether beginners or more experienced artists who wish to sharpen their skills. Instruction is offered in drawing, painting and sculpting. Our workshops fill a void that is not addressed by existing art schools today. They provide the opportunity for students to exchange ideas with a group of artists who share similar creative goals. Academy instructors are nationally renowned professionals selected for their merit as equine artists or their outstanding reputation in related genres.
Workshops are held at a variety of prestigious locations. These places offer healthy Equine subjects and the finest instructors available.

Your "up front and personal" instructor will keep your progress on track and a masterpiece of Equine art will emerge before your very eyes. You will go home with some grand new techniques.
