Faculty & Staff
The academy is sustained by a group of committed artists whose instructional language is unified by their common background, but each brings his or her individual voice to the critique.
The Academy’s administrative staff offers help and guidance to students before and after their applying to the Academic Program. If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
At FAA/Sweden there are also a number of Guest Instructors each Academic Year. These instructors are recruited from the group of FAA alumni who have distinguished themselves as professional artists. During their visits students will see a lot of them, two to three days a week. This provides our students with a dynamic learning environment, without compromising the continuity which will always be central in our method.
