Texas Academy of Figurative Art

A nonprofit organization

Our Needs

Thank you for considering support for our current program needs! Our academic program needs include: additional casts for advancing students to complete the cast drawing phase of the curriculum, enhanced lighting for our figure model room, funds for books as several of our school's art textbooks have suffered significant wear and tear, scholarship funds for several students who have demonstrated commitment to the curriculum and have financial need, easels for our teen workshop and for use in the figure model room, funds for model fees, and art supplies.

Mission

Our mission is to educate, train, and develop artists in the classical realist tradition, thus giving them the skills they need to express their unique artistic vision with technical accomplishment, beauty, and artistic freedom. TAFA provides training in drawing and painting methods of the Renaissance Old Masters. The academic program at the Texas Academy of Figurative Art meets a significant need in the artistic and cultural community of Fort Worth and the state of Texas. TAFA is the only academy that provides full-time training in realist art in Fort Worth and the state of Texas. Students complete the TAFA four year curriculum in our full-time academy. Giving students the skills they need for technically accomplished, beautifully rendered artwork is the heart of TAFA.
