Artists Jeff Hein, Justin Taylor, Sean Diediker and Ben McPherson will open the Bridge Academy of Art in Provo. Dedicated to the study of 19th-century classical atelier training in drawing and painting, the academy will also teach traditional multifigure composition and techniques to advanced students. Students will also be exposed to the national art community through regular visits by influential artists. And, true to its name, the Bridge Academy will likewise emphasize the insights and advancements of modern art movements.

Classes begin Aug. 1. To find out about class availability or other enrollment questions, e-mail info@bridgeacademyofart.com. For more general information, visit www.bridgeacademyofart.com
