Study of Great Master Drawings
Students may view original Old Master drawings at the Uffizi Gallery. The study and copy of these drawings allow students to grasp how the Great Masters translated three-dimensional shape into two-dimensions. Students who have entered their third year of study are also encouraged to copy at least one Master painting from a Florentine collection.

Exhibitions
To further support the professional careers of its advanced students and alumni, The Florence Academy of Art organizes annual exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world. The Annual Exhibition has taken place in London (1993 and 1997), San Francisco (1995), Atlanta and Ocala, Florida (1996), New York (1997), Gothenburg, Sweden (1999), and Germany and New York (2003). The purpose of these exhibitions is to promote the work of the Academy's students and alumni, and, at the same time, expand public appreciation for Realist art. As of 2005, an annual Alumni Exhibition has been held in Florence at Palazzo Corsini.

The Florence Academy of Art Gallery
The Academy houses a small collection of 19th century drawings, and contemporary student and staff drawings, paintings and sculpture. These works are on view by appointment.
