Welcome to the London Art College

A very warm welcome. I hope you are finding our website informative and helpful.

When I became Principal in 1998, I was very aware that in a changing world, the college needed to move with the times. All our courses are regularly updated, however we have also been mindful of our proud heritage.

The college has been training aspiring artists and illustrators for the past eighty years. We were, I believe, the first distance learning college set up anywhere in the world (1931) and today we have students studying with us all over the world.

Our course tutors are the best and our programmes are very effective in helping people realise their ambitions as artists. Judge for yourself - most of the artwork on this website has been drawn or painted by our students, whilst on our courses - many in the past twelve months. We think art should be fun, but we know people can be better artists with good training and we remain committed to the principles established at our inception in 1931.
