In 2007 a new chapter unfolded. The Neue Abendakademie Leipzig was born. It rose from the ashes of the old Abendakademie at the HGB. Former instructors artists of the old academy founded this new institution. They continued the tradition of art courses. The old academy had undergone restructuring. Traditional courses like painting techniques and sculpting had been cut.
The Neue Abendakademie recognized a thirst for artistic fundamentals. It filled a void. The academy independently continued these vital courses. New instructors joined expanding the range of artistic disciplines offered. The goal was clear: to introduce and educate adults and young people in visual arts. Another important aim was to prepare potential art students for entrance examinations.
The courses operate independently. Students can choose one or many courses. A high artistic standard is maintained. The courses provide intensive learning. Students gain knowledge. They have opportunities to share ideas. Field trips museum visits and discussions are all part of the experience. The Neue Abendakademie Leipzig offers more than just classes. It offers a community. It’s a place to learn to grow and connect with art. It is a place where artistic passion blossoms. The legacy continues. The spirit of art lives on in Leipzig. This is the Neue Abendakademie Leipzig a testament to the enduring power of artistic expression.
