Mission

Painting of a women

Studio Incamminati provides a rigorous and comprehensive foundation in Realist painting, drawing upon deep Humanist values and remaining committed to keeping tuition as low as possible. Modeled on the traditional Italian accademia and French atelier, Studio Incamminati’s dynamic curriculum produces highly skilled artists who can call upon their abilities to create art with depth of purpose. It is our hope that our students will go on to inspire others with their art and their teaching, and to make meaningful contributions to society with their talents.

Described as “one of the nation’s top art academies” by Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine, Studio Incamminati offers a variety of instructional programs; including short workshops, an Advanced Fine Arts Diploma, and a BFA with Rowan University. Founded by the world-renowned portraitist Nelson Shanks in 2002, the School is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.
