The Vienna Academy of Visionary Art:
Located in the historic Palais Palffy on Josefsplatz in the heart of Vienna, The Vienna Academy of Visionary Art offers a rich variety of classical painting and drawing programmes to local and international students. (Courses are taught in English). We provide full-time 2-3 year Diploma programmes featuring drawing and painting modules as well as shorter-term 'Single Trimester' classes, 1-2-week 'Intensives', and a Summer course in Italy.

About The Vienna Academy of Visionary Art:

Located in Vienna city centre, across from the Hofburg Palace, The Vienna Academy revives classical techniques of painting while pursuing art as the expression of beauty, spirit and vision.

To transmit an in-depth practice of painterly technique, our school follows the established model of the Academy system, while also promoting individual creativity through the pursuit of Visionary Art.

Why Choose Us?

-  Balancing Academics with Creativity
The curriculum emphasizes an ‘academic’ approach, but this is directed to the student’s creation of original compositions, based on their own ideas and designs.

-  Professional Art Teachers
Each class is taught by skilled professionals who transmit their value of craft while sharing insights into the artist’s vocation.

-  Classical & Modern Techniques
Drawing the figure from life and refining it through sculpture and cast drawings encourages beauty, style and idealization of the human figure. Modern techniques, such as Computer Rendering, are also learned and applied to Classically-conceived works.
