Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art

The Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art (LAAFA) was founded in 2002.  The academy started with the intention to fulfill a need in the community by offering figurative classes that would be taught by professional and skilled artists.  In no time, the academy built a strong reputation as a learning institution for foundational training that has expanded in providing accredited BFA Degrees and Atelier Certificates in Fine Art and Entertainment Art. LAAFA is recognized as one of the few and premier institutions imparting time-honored skills praised by contemporary figurative and entertainment artists.  LAAFA remains committed to providing the community with a place of learning where students can pursue their artistic goals and thrive in their art education in our full-time or continuing education programs.
