Monday night was the opening of "Dignity Through Art" at the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo, which featured local artists who sought to highlight the needs of those marginalized, homeless or needy people in Florence to tell their stories and honour their essential human dignity. The show will run from 16/05 to 26/05.

The Angel Academy was represented well by students and teachers alike! John Skelcher, Yang Ying, James Tucker, Ashish Patel, Hayley Brown, Masako Kazue, and Stephen Citynskyj all made work for the exhibit. It was a packed house - great show everyone!!

Alvin Mark Tan

Our final year student, Alvin Mark Tan, is holding second his solo Art Exhibition in Singapore. Titled, Natural Realism (part one), Alvin is showcasing his work from the Angel Academy, which traces the process from his first Bargue copy to the 1st colour cast painting. His aim is to introduce and educate the public about Natural Realism.

Alvin spent this past summer urban-sketching the city of Florence and sold many of his ink and gouache sketches in a personal kick-starter. This was to raise money for his journey back to Singapore to hold the exhibition, which runs from Dec 17 to Dec 21. He is also launching his second sketchbook journal on Dec 19 called Ciao Firenze!, to raise funds for the rest of his final year at the Angel Academy.

We wish him all the best in the exhibition and book sales!
