Studio Noma is a Boston-based art academy specializing in portfolio preparation, fine art training, and creative development for students of all ages. Founded with the belief that every artist has a unique story to tell, the studio provides individualized instruction that balances strong technical foundations with personal expression.

Our teaching philosophy is rooted in the idea that art is both a discipline and a form of self-discovery. Students are encouraged to experiment across media — from drawing, painting, and sculpture to installation and digital work — while developing the skills needed to present their ideas with clarity and confidence. Studio Noma’s curriculum emphasizes both conceptual thinking and craft, preparing students for competitive portfolio submissions as well as lifelong creative growth.

The studio is known for its supportive and rigorous environment, where artists learn to critique, collaborate, and refine their voices. Many of our students have received regional and national Scholastic Art Awards. Beyond the classroom, Studio Noma hosts community exhibitions and an annual fundraiser art show, bringing together families, artists, and neighbors to celebrate creativity and support local arts education.

Through our programs, we aim to foster not only accomplished artists but also resilient, curious thinkers who see art as a way to process experience, connect with others, and imagine new possibilities.
