History
Established in 1999.
The Long Island Academy of Fine Art was the first school for classical art studies on Long Island, and since its founding it has established itself as the premier art academy on Long Island. LIAFA attracts students locally and beyond. At the Long Island Academy we uphold the highest standards of classical academic drawing, painting, and sculpture, and offer courses for young artists (kids 3rd-7th grade), teens, and adults of all levels and abilities, from novices to professional artists.
The Long Island Academy of Fine Art was unofficially started in 1999, when Robert Armetta began teaching a drawing class in the basement of the First Congregational Church on Main Street, in downtown Riverhead. In early 2008, in order to gain better classroom space, grow in quality, and make the resources of LIAFA more accessible to a greater number of students throughout Long Island, we moved to a beautiful storefront space in Glen Cove, and significantly expanded class offerings and our faculty.
