We offer individualized attention in a caring and supportive environment where our students become part of our community.

The three main SAFA painting instructors decided to honor SAFA's founder, Attila Hejja, by continuing to teach the time-honored classical art program he developed, at the Art League of Long Island (ALLI) in Dix Hills. The Stevenson Academy Program at the Art League of Long Island continues, albeit as a separate entity, with the same drawing and painting program, highly-qualified instructors, and tradition of excellence.

The Stevenson Academy Program/ALLI merger has been deemed a great success. We have completed a year since these two institutions joined forces and many former students are coming back to the quality instruction that the Stevenson Program is known for.

Former SAFA students, as well as, new friends from the Art League study in large, airy classrooms and beautiful facilities, along with all of the familiar props and equipment that were brought over from SAFA in Oyster Bay. Students are provided with the same quality instruction, attention and support that they have come to expect from the Stevenson Academy. The Stevenson Academy instructors are extremely grateful to the Art League of Long Island for their generous support and for making us feel welcome in our new home.

The Art League of Long Island is the oldest and largest art league on Long Island. They have an incredibly beautiful, two-story gallery, ten spacious classrooms and a wide selection of courses all taught by professional artists, workshops, exhibits, lectures, museum tours, fine art and craft shows. Click here for pictures of this gorgeous facility. The gallery and classrooms are easily accessible, just off exit 42N of the Northern State Parkway; just 15 minutes from the old SAFA building in Oyster Bay.

I've always been very anti-traditional art instruction. I always thought that figuring out the rules of art on your own through practice was the best way. But when I went to Stevenson's, they taught me the basic basic basic stuff that was a totally necessary foundation to learning anything more and moving forward. The simple things that they taught me there gave me such a huge leg up in learning more complicated things on my own. There are something you just need to be taught- and Stevenson teaches them really well.

The traditional training one gets here is taught at very few places and was never taught at any of the schools and ateliers I attended. This is the very best place to be and learn. Come join us you be amazed at what you will learn at The Stevenson Academy.
