The Art Students Exchange, opened in 1985, holds classes in a variety of areas including portfolio prep for art schools (its specialty), drawing, painting, fashion and anatomy. The school was founded by Connie Lane, a practicing artist, who believes the best way to teach art is to combine imaginative ideas with classical teaching methods. If you are a portfolio prep student, you will be asked to do extra work. Doing so helps increase the possibility of getting accepted to a top art school. Group and individual classes are available throughout the year.
The Art Students Exchange is located in the office building on Militia Dr., just off of Worthen Rd.
