What is Sentient Academy?

Sentient Academy is an online art school geared toward self-led learning. Take the courses you want when you want, and instead of insane tuition fees you can simply pay for what you need.

​Our mission at Sentient Academy is to provide equitable access to diverse and inclusive art curriculum that nurtures critical thinking and provides career opportunities for students and educators.

Founded in 2019, Sentient Academy is an online art school for artists, by artists. 

Our founders wanted to create a cost-effective online art school; we strive to set fair prices for students, as well as fair pay and flexible contracts for our instructors. Through our new state-of-the-art digital platform, we are able to deliver first-class art education to a worldwide audience like never before. 

We recruit working professionals who have mastered their art to teach our workshops and courses. Each master instructor brings years of professional success and hard-earned knowledge to their lectures and demonstrations, so all Sentient students can learn how to succeed in their own artistic domains. We continue to add new instructors who grow our knowledge base across mediums and careers. If you have the skill, experience, and drive to teach at Sentient Academy, learn more here. 

Sentient students are of all ages, nationalities, and economic backgrounds, and are actively looking to build a career in art or take the hobby they love to a higher level. Many are seeking a community of learners to help them progress and enjoy the process.
