History stands witness to the fact that great artists have outshined their contemporaries with their brilliant art, inspite of the lack of formal education to support their place in this world. Their brilliance in art has gifted the world some of the rarest of gems ever seen. Even today, in India we see that quite a few of such gifted artists lose sight of their future in the mundane intricacies of University and College rules. Their aspirations squashed before they have reached their destination.

Acdemey of Fine Arts & Design (AFAD) is an institute on a mission to help such innumerable unrecognized artists; refine and sharpen their skills to perfection. The institute seeks to provide extensive range of training in the least amount of time, with the use of the most modern techniques and facilities. The training at DCA not only provides you success as a painter but also helps you establish your career in the fields of Applied Art, Graphic Design, Sculpture, , Art Teaching.

A painting is a degree by itself and its intricate details, the mark sheet. An artist is judged as a master by studying these intricate details. Today we see a lot of artists who have achieved their success solely based on their talent and not by the scroll of degree they hold.

The guidance of a good teacher is worth more than 100 universities. Your success depends on that one correct decision you make today!

AFAD wishes you a bright future!
