Welcome to the FAAM

Learning at the Fine Art Academy of Montclair offers a unique experience for any student who wishes to improve their skills and grow creatively.

We’re all working professionals with a passion for teaching and sharing.

But what sets us apart from all the rest is you don’t just get college-level classes; you become part of the FAAM.

The acronym is intentional ;)
Here, we make art in community.

  • portrait painting

But we also offer the following classes:

  • academic drawing

  • oil painting fundamentals

Then there are all the workshops…

  • botanical drawing

  • anatomy

  • quick studies painting

  • and more!
