The Art School of the Austin Museum of Art is located on the 12-acre Lake Austin site of historic Laguna Gloria, a natural setting conducive to the creation of art. Our studios have direct access to the out-of-doors, and we encourage you to explore the grounds while working on class projects. Our goal is to foster your creativity, enhance your visual awareness, and improve your technical skills in your chosen medium. Our small classes increase your interactions with our credentialed and talented faculty members.
The Art School strives to maintain the highest standards of educational excellence, offering you the added bonus of experiencing changing exhibitions at two locations. The Friends of Laguna Gloria and Museum membership give you tuition discounts, preferential registration, invitations to openings, and other benefits. There are so many ways to enjoy The Art School and our campus at the beautiful Austin Museum of Art-Laguna Gloria. So whether you are a beginning student, a serious amateur, or a returning artist, we invite you to enroll.
