The Project by the artist Kasia Wrona
Art Academy
Marina de Lagos
The project was created by the artist Kasia Wrona and Roger Green in 2011 and it offers many ways to develop people's artistic abilities in the cultural corner of Algarve, bringing together professional artists and beginners who come here from different parts of the world, as well as residents of the Algarve. They participate in classes and events with different subjects - painting, sculpture, photography, music, fashion - sharing their experiences and learning new artistic possibilities here. The art academy is a very open project, including activities for children. All these actions involve a great support of the main sponsor and protector of the project - Marina de Lagos - as well other occasional patrons like the Embassy of the Polish Republic in Portugal.
Drawing classes for beginners and professional by Kasia Wrona
The academy holds drawing classes for beginners and professional artists, organized by Kasia Wrona, who says: "Drawing is the foundation of all other disciplines of art. It is, therefore, an important part of artistic development. You are unable to learn it once forever. You must practise it constantly in order to train your hand, your mind and imagination".

ART IN THE MARINA DE LAGOS
The highlight of the academy's annual activities
The yearly ART IN THE MARINA DE LAGOS event is the highlight of the academy's annual activities - joining past and present students, contributors, friends, there is always a vibrant flow of possibilities, experiences and nationalities. Beautiful location of Marina de Lagos attracts and inspires everybody.
