Press release

Adae Fine Art Academy, located in New Haven , is proud to present a group exhibition of student work. The guiding concept of the Academy is the well-known artist’s adage, "Draw what you see, not what you think you know," a mantra manifested in the paintings and drawings of its students, who range in age from seven to their seventies. This group exhibit presents a splendid variety of subjects and media, reflecting Adae Fine Art Academy’s dedication to individual instruction inspired by students’ interests.

Featured in the show are art works by Theresa Cappetta, Henry Chapman, Alex Lawrence, Christopher Gross, Jeff Chandler, Julia Chandler, Joe Janiga, Ben Huvelle, Sonja Haley, Samantha Santos, Helen Kincaid, Sylvia Arovas, Bill Simons, Terry Stewart, Saul Aboudi, Nicole Andreson, Melina Andreson, Liv Hahner, Candice Gosta, Eli Lee, Corey Patchkofsky, Hannah Kim, Hanna Solligard, Eric Solligard, Dwayne Watkins, William Zhang, and Kimberley Goulbourne.

Classes in all types of drawing and painting media are offered and student interests drive instruction. Enrollment is open; new students aged seven and up are welcome to schedule a free trial lesson at any time.
