What artist Kevin Moore of Ani Art America finds valuable about classical art is that it inspires the artist toward virtuosity, and virtuosity arises from discipline. Thus, discipline becomes a tonic distilled from classical art.
“It’s the mechanism used to achieve mastery,” said Moore in a phone interview on Nov. 14, 2015.
Moore is set to open the newest Ani Art Academy in January 2016. Currently, the academy has locations in the Dominican Republic, Anguilla, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Pennsylvania. The new facility opening in Red Bank, N.J., will be called Ani Art Academy America and will provide free comprehensive art education to disabled veterans.
