The Georgia Fine Arts Academy was founded in 1980 to encourage and stimulate the development of the arts and humanities in Georgia. Through its arts classes at the Daffodil Farm in northwest Georgia, art exhibits in Atlanta, and Cafe Apollinaire in Athens, it has helped young, aspiring visual artists, actors, filmmakers, architects, and writers achieve their dreams for decades.

Academy Without Walls |
|||||||||||||||
Academy Without Walls offers Classes/Roundtables/Discussion Groups on relevant topics modeled after those held at Harvard University Institutes, as well as modeled after the tutorial method of Oxford University. Our mission is to recreate and emulate Plato's Academy in Athens, Georgia, which was named Athens by the visionary founders of the University of Georgia in 1785 with the intention that it would be like the Athens of Socrates and Plato in Ancient Greece. |

Named for Guillaume Apollinaire, a poet, playwrite and author, who encouraged emerging artists arranaging their first exhibits during the Surrealist Movement in Paris. He coined the term Surrealism, and was a champion of Cubist painters. Cafe Apollinaire is held in the Cine Lab in Athens, where tables are arranged like the outdoor cafes of Paris, where artists gathered nightly to discuss their art and new ideas. |
