The Vienna Academy of Visionary Art

General information

Open since September 2013, The Vienna Academy of Visionary Art offers a two-year and three-year Diploma programme with courses in historical painting techniques, old masters studies and life drawing, as well as visionary seeing and the exploration of myths, symbols and styles from East to West. It is an international private teaching institution with English as the primary language of instruction. Shorter stays are also possible – from three months Single Trimester to one weeks Intensive.

Located in the historic Otto Wagner Building at Neustiftgasse 40 (entrance Döblergasse 2) in the heart of Vienna - the Academy was co-founded by Professor Ernst Fuchs and The Visionary Guild - a circle of ten artists who, having assisted Fuchs in the past, now teach the Academy’s core courses.

From London, Paris and Vienna to Melbourne Australia and the West Coast of America, this group of artists transmits their love of craft while sharing insights into the artist’s vocation. Their names are already well-known in the Visionary Art world - Kuba Ambrose, Vera Atlantia, Laurence Caruana, A. Andrew Gonzalez, David Heskin, Daniel Mirante, Autumn Skye Morrison, Mark Lee, Mark Henson, Ithi Anderson, Jonathan Solter, Amanda Sage, Timea Tallian, Aloria Weaver. Collectively and individually, they have taught hundreds of students, from all quarters of the globe, particularly through The Visions in the Mischtechnik Seminar in Italy.

At the heart of the programme is the individual artist’s quest for beauty, spirit and vision. The curriculum, developed by the Faculty as a whole, encourages both technical mastery and the creative expression of genius.
