Avart Academy

Supporting Emerging Artists and the Next Generation of Creatives

AVart Academy was founded to help young artists and aspiring professionals navigate the world of visual arts. Our goal is to provide students with a strong foundation in creative disciplines, real-world industry insights, and the skills needed to overcome early freelance challenges.

It all began in 2014 with our first courses: PhotoJam, focused on photography, and WindReWind, dedicated to video production.

Since then, we’ve established a partnership with the Faculty of Mass Media Communication at the University of St. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava, allowing us to host annual photography masterclasses. These take place at Atelier KEFA (Creative-Experimental Photography Atelier), where we meet at least twice a year. Each masterclass concludes with an assignment, followed by a constructive critique session two weeks later to help students address challenges they faced during the process.

Beyond masterclasses, we support young artists through other hands-on initiatives. Currently, in collaboration with Pastis Café in our hometown of Trnava, we guide students through the entire process of curating an exhibition—from selecting and preparing photographs for print to framing and organizing an opening event.
