Founded in 2000
, the Long Island Academy of Fine Art was established as a studio school for the study of traditional painting and drawing. Located in Riverhead and Glen Cove, LIAFA offers courses in classical drawing, painting, and sculpture. The main objective of the program is to equip students with the knowledge necessary to create contemporary art rooted in traditional realism.

Students at the Academy come from all over Long Island and New York City to attend classes and workshops. Classes are taught by award-winning, classically trained artists who exhibit nationally and whose works are in both public and private international collections.

Director/Founder Robert Armetta Featured in The Artist's Magazine.


We are pleased to announce that our Director and Founder, Robert Armetta, has been featured in a ten-page article in the national art magazine, The Artist's Magazine. His paintings are featured as well as a one-page department called "Close Up," and also mentioned in the Editor's letter and on the cover of the October issue of The Artist's Magazine, which is now on the shelves at Barnes & Noble and Borders bookstores.
