The New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts opened its doors at 5256 Magazine Street in 1980. Since its inception, the school has promoted the importance of classical tradition in the visual arts. The school's original focus in Painting, Drawing and Sculpture remains the foundation of our school. Over the course of more than 40 years, NOAFA has expanded and now offers classes in film, photography, ceramics, youth programming, abstraction, and mixed media. The school also operates two gallery spaces on campus which host essential community building events featuring internationally recognized artists.
Our faculty are passionate about teaching and approach each student at their own level. The faculty share a foundational belief that through learning to see carefully, and crafting skill sets in the foundations of the fine arts, we better ourselves as human beings. This core philosophy endures through the growth of the school.
The New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts is proud of its current faculty, students and alumni who fill our studios with moments of joy and artistic thought.
"NOAFA has dramatically brought my son to a higher artistic level. I love this program, it's amazing! I would highly recommend to all in pursuing any kind of Art!"
"A wonderful school, attending classes there has improved my drawing and painting a lot. Excellent, caring teachers."
"I spent approximately 10 years studying at the Academy. I love that place. I learned so much ... and owe my life's love of sculpting to the time I spent there."
NOAFA is dedicated to the preservation of Fine Art's past and the development of its future through an engaging education in a welcoming environment.
