Fine Arts Programs offered by Academy of Art at Founders College include a full- and part-time Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) program and a non-degree 'atelier' program, both studio-intensive options based on the classical approach to fine art as taught in Academies of the 19th century. These and other liberal arts programs, including Art History, are part of a special integrated curriculum of logically ordered courses that illustrate connections among ideas in each field.

Founders College at the Berry Hill Estate in South Boston, Virginia, is easily accessible from points north and south. It is within a one-hour drive of Raleigh-Durham and within a two-hour drive of Richmond, Va., and Greensboro, N.C.

Cindy MacMillan is an award-winning contemporary realist painter and instructing professor at Academy of Art at Founders College. She is a recent graduate (MFA) of New York Academy of Art, and a past graduate of Academy of Realist Art, where she studied old-master oil painting techniques, including the proven steps to successful still life to be presented at the August workshop.
