At the Fairmount School of Art, we believe that recognizing the natural talent of artists at all ages of development is the starting point of art education. The unique variation of each student's talent is highly valued. The Fairmount School of Art faculty seek to refine, challenge, and teach important skills as they relate to specific media and each evolving stage of artistic development - while promoting the natural expression of the human spirit through the powerful language of visual art. Believing that self expression naturally leads to self confidence and a sense of identity, nurturing the artist enhances the individual's ability to meaningfully contribute to the greater community. Faculty are encouraged to value each other and to promote excellence as they teach students and continue to create their own work.

Our Gallery is the next logical place for students to showcase talent as it evolves. We provide opportunities for professional artists, emerging artists, accomplished students, and faculty to exhibit their work.

We invite you to refine, renew and begin to express yourself in an art class. Develop an admission portfolio, paint in watercolor, acrylic and/or oil paint. Discover techniques used by fashion illustrators in the popular fashion illustration offering. Relax and enjoy the art of ceramics. Enjoy sharing irreplaceable time making art with your toddler and/or preschooler. We will brighten your days creating together. Please join us!
