Opening Reception - May 13, 6-8 PM
The Academy of LVA - May 9 – May 17

The Academy of LVA is Louisville's premier pre-professional art program for high school students— under the umbrella of The Children’s Fine Art Classes program. Founded in 1925, its mission is to provide intensive, in-depth art experiences for talented and motivated art students. When preparing the curriculum for the Academy, LVA looked not only at the National Core Art Standards, but also had conversations with the top art schools around the country to ensure our academy students would exceed their expectations. When asked what they were looking for in applicants, their answer was consistent across the board, "We want students who go beyond exhibiting technical skill and talent. Applicants should have both a style and voice unifying their work and should be able to discuss their work conceptually." By completing junior and senior level classes with The Academy, students will be a leading candidate for art schools and universities around the country.
