I started The Mastery Program in March 2023, and it was hands-down one of the best decisions of my life. Although I had been painting for a few years before that, I needed to gain the necessary skills to be a professional artist. I was directionless with my art, my style, the studio discipline, and how to navigate the art world. I took several of Milan Art's individual classes before that, but since starting The Mastery Program, I feel like I have that navigational beacon! In the mixed media section, where the course dives into experimenting and understanding my temperament as an artist, I was prompted to really dive deep into my "why," which was enlightening. I feel like I better understand myself and how my life experiences have led me to pursue a career in the arts. It's also equipped me with the discipline to spend hours behind the paintbrush and to be confident in my process - to push through the self-doubt, to overcome it, and to paint on the other side of my pain. I'm in the portfolio section right now, and I can already see how my artistic style and voice are emerging! I still have a long journey ahead of me, but the skills and mentality I have learned through The Mastery Program permeate all aspects of my life, and for me - that is life-changing! There is SO much more that I get from The Mastery Program outside of drawing, paintings, building a portfolio, and a brand; to me, that is invaluable! Thank you, Elli, Dimitra, Jake, John, and the rest of the Milan Art Institute. You have truly changed my life!

I graduated from the Milan Art Institute's Fine Art Mastery Program in 2019 and have been thankful for finding them ever since. I had always wanted to go to art school but the price and time alluded me. They solved all of that with having a program that was only a year but contained so much. I finished the program with a full portfolio and skills I could have only dreamed of having before. I would pay to do it all over again as it's literally the best money I've ever spent on myself. If you are on the fence, I would say go for it, you won't regret the investment in yourself.

Highest quality lessons, great coaches, and SO much info. I went to graduate school and got a Master of Fine Arts in Painting. I took this program because I never learned the business side of art. The Mastery Program does a better job teaching the skills of fine art AND they also teach you the business side. If I didn't want to be a professor - I would have only taken this program, it has everything you need and more!
