About Us

Established in 2020, Art Muse Academy (AMA) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3), focused on arts education. AMA is the nonprofit branch of Art Muse Los Angeles.

Our mission is to provide hands-on training and career foundations that equip the next generation of art historians, educators, and cultural guides to make art accessible to all.

We put our mission into practice through three core programs:

  • Our public programs bring expert-led tours of museums, galleries, and artist studios, offering in-depth education and perspective you won't find on a self-guided visit.

  • We invest in the next generation of arts professionals, offering hands-on experience and mentorship to interns building careers in the art world.

  • Our curated guides to public art across Los Angeles and Miami help residents and visitors alike discover murals, sculptures, and installations hiding in plain sight throughout their own cities.
