Schedule your youngster for a one hour free class…

…and get preferred access to our 2026-2027 programs as a thank you!

The Academy of Art of Highland Park (AAHP) was born out of a long, time-honored tradition of studio practice, where the practitioner learns closely from the instructor all of the skills and sensibilities one needs to study their craft as artist. For decades, the AAHP, located in central New Jersey, USA, has delivered this unique and invaluable experience to countless practitioners, many of whom have traveled great distances to train with our expert staff.

We are so excited to now be able to offer this amazing opportunity to young practitioners from all around the world!

Enroll your youngster in a free class today, and explore our unique learning space!
