The Renaissance Workshop & Salon for the Arts has opened its doors as of July 7th, 2011. The workshop takes place in the studio of artist and instructor Raúl-Santiago Sebazco in Chelsea, New York. The workshop follows the centuries old tradition of the education of emerging artists in the working studio of a professional artist.

Above is the logo of the “Renaissance Workshop & Salon for the Arts” which depicts a professional artist’s workshop in Renaissance Europe. These workshops existed, and still exist, in all cultures and historical periods. Workshops, where the application of the “craft and science of art” was practiced and taught to the emerging artists of the next generation. It was, and still is, a creative environment where practice and theory work hand in hand. In these workshops of the past many fine works were produced and are now exhibited in museums and collections through out the world, and are the great treasures of human culture
