Chelsea Fine Arts’ mission is to develop and expose artistic talent in young people. We take this very seriously and think it is important for the young to have the right space, all the necessary materials with which to work and be supported by a proven teaching method to develop capabilities. We believe that any person can learn the skills of drawing and painting whether they are naturally talented or an absolute beginner. Our view is that talent is discovered and developed once the basics have been mastered. Without these, the ability to create is limited. Likewise we believe that art is not exclusive to those who are naturally talented. We look forward to building confidence and transferring these valuable life skills to all our students.
