My daughter attended her first art lesson at Algarve Arts Academy today, and it was truly an inspiring experience for her. The instructor's passion and encouragement made the class both engaging and educational. She loved exploring new techniques and felt a real sense of accomplishment by the end. The welcoming atmosphere and thoughtful guidance helped nurture her creativity, and she's already looking forward to the next session. Thank you for providing such a fantastic space for young artists to grow! I highly recommend the Academy❤️ Less

Friendly and experienced teachers; art classes in an open space with plenty of natural light facing a little garden; familiar atmosphere; comfortable sofas for parents waiting for/watching/listening their little artists. Lovely discovery. Less

My two sons and their spouses attended a pottery class while on holidays and they very much enjoyed their experience. Since they did not have time to finish their work, I came in to paint their pottery and discovered this beautiful art academy. Julia and the staff are very welcoming and create a wonderful atmosphere. The space is bright and beautiful. I would love to come back for painting lessons next time I am in the area. Less

What an amazing experience! We thoroughly enjoyed and had an incredible evening. The instruction was fantastic and we all learned so much.

We had a great time in the studio today. It's so welcoming and the class was very engaging. I appreciated learning about proper art topics (lights/shading, color theory, composition) and having the chance to play and do what feels good. Thank you, Julia and team! Less

I had a wonderful experience attending art & wine evening. What an incredible way to step away from everything and enjoy a moment of creativity while relaxing with a glass of wine. Julia is professional and very passionate art teacher who will inspire you and share her wonderdul skills with you. Absolutely recommend. 💯 Less

Algarve Arts Academy: where even my stick figures found artistic enlightenment! The atmosphere is so creative, I half expected the paintbrushes to start giving advice. Bonus points for the wine—finally, art and relaxation at the same time. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to unleash their inner Picasso… or at least draw a decent circle! Less

We celebrated my daughter’s birthday, and it was an absolute blast! Julia and her team organized such a beautiful party. The kids got to do art projects and create mood boards, and the neon painting activity was a huge hit. Even my husband, who has never taken a drawing lesson in his life, had a great time painting while enjoying some wine! Less

Absolutely stunning place for kids parties, a lot of space, special disco room. Amazing classes (drawing of different techniques, sculpting etc). The owner has a proper classical art education with all the credentials, truly passionate and very client oriented. We have visited it twice and loved it! Less

Large bright space with pleasant energy. In my opinion, the opening of the academy is a huge gift for the creative people of the Algarve who have already discovered their talent or are about to discover it. The employees of the art space help everyone to open up. And in September they promise programming courses for children. Less
