At Rising Artists Academy, art is more than just making something beautiful—it’s about growth, confidence, and discovering your unique creative voice.

Founded by Laura Ryan, an elementary art teacher with 17 years of experience, the academy was born from a lifelong passion for teaching and creating. After years of inspiring young artists in Pennsylvania classrooms, the dream is now expanding to Florida through a dedicated studio space designed for both children and adults.

As a teacher by day and a working pottery artist by night, our founder understands both the educational and creative sides of art. This unique blend allows students to experience classes that are structured, inspiring, and rooted in real artistic practice.

Nothing is more rewarding than watching creativity bloom—whether it’s a child discovering a new skill or an adult reconnecting with their artistic side.

At Rising Artists Academy, every artist is encouraged to rise.
