Allow us to introduce the Swedish Academy of Realist Art (SARA).
There are many paths when choosing to study art, and we offer a classical education distinct from institutions like Konstfack or the Royal Institute of Art, serving as an exceptional complement to traditional art academies.
At SARA, you master the craft of drawing and painting to capture objects, nature, and the human form true to life. Pure realist art, in essence.
Why pursue this skill? Perhaps simply out of a deep passion for realist art and a desire to work as a fine artist. Or maybe you aspire to enter the gaming or film industry, paint set backdrops, become a top-tier tattoo artist, or create concept art… Whatever your goal, this is an art form in growing demand worldwide.
All 35 study places are eligible for Swedish student aid (CSN), and we welcome students from across the globe. Instruction is therefore conducted entirely in English.
We also offer summer courses, and every Thursday evening during term time we host open life drawing sessions for anyone who wishes to join.
Our intimate academy boasts a wonderful, welcoming atmosphere and is nestled in one of Sweden’s most scenic regions—the heart of Österlen, right in the center of Simrishamn.
Warmly welcome to visit us!
