About Saltaire Art School
Saltaire Art School, founded in 2020, is a centre for creative education in the heart of the Saltaire Heritage Village. Known for being the only art school in Yorkshire that teaches traditional techniques inspired by the methods of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, it has become a key destination for art education in the region.
The school offers high-quality courses for participants of all ages, combining technical guidance with a broader appreciation for art history, philosophy, and contemporary trends.
Committed to maintaining the highest education standards, the school employs only qualified teachers and professional artists to lead courses in drawing, painting, and specialized programs for adults, teens and children.
In 2023, Saltaire Art School celebrated a major milestone by opening of its Contemporary Fine Art Gallery, which also serves as abase. With grand views of Victoria Hall and Salts Mill, the gallery provides an inspiring environment amongst works by contemporary artists where art, mellow jazz, and creativity blend seamlessly.
