The Edina Art Center faculty is comprised of regional artists of the highest caliber. Many have formal art training and hold master's degrees in Fine Art.
Others are graduates of the Atelier system, an intensive four-year course of study based on French academic classical training with impressionistic color theory.
Several have been here since 1977 when the Art Center opened. Others have started more recently, but all have teaching experience and the ability to convey
their techniques, enthusiasm and love for art.
