The Artcademy is a leader in creative education around the world. We are about helping students discover the kick-ass creative within by providing education on virtually any creative medium through community based guidance that welcomes exploration, discovery, trial, error, curiosity, fun, and fearlessness. Founder, Martiel Traczyk Beatty began this company in early 2013 with the goal in mind to give students an outlet to pursue their creative passions in a safe, encouraging and fun environment. It has been important to her that every person who comes to this community feel honored, welcomed, loved and challenged to be and do their very best.
