I spend most of my time, as you well know, glued to my chair
and on my computer on Artist Daily or searching artist websites and every art
blog and art forum I can find. But that is when I am researching. But when it
comes to developing my own artistic practice and learning as a student, I know
that learning in person can really help.

I've given thought to joining an art program or going back
to school, and the choices are vast and exciting. But most of all, many of the
drawing and painting programs out there can accommodate us wherever we are on
our artistic trajectory.
If you are a full-time worker like I am, you may not be ready to really
give it all up and go back to school. But workshops or part-time art programs
are definitely an option. And if you are in a position to be able to devote
yourself to your art, I say don't hesitate! Life is too short and art means so
much to us that it should get top billing in our lives.
We've just created and posted a free guide to help: Where to Study Art. The title says it
all. It's a directory of art education programs from all over the country for
artists at all levels of experience. Using this as your roadmap, you can reach
out to the programs you feel drawn to, set up visits or talk to attendees and
take the next step for your art. Download Where to Study Art now!
