The mission of the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts is to provide the best education in Drawing, Painting, and Sculpture through study of the history, traditions, and principles of the fine arts and the Liberal Arts, thereby establishing a comprehensive foundation for the development of the artist.

The studio curriculum is centered around the study of nature and the human figure. The liberal arts curriculum provides a strong academic foundation necessary for advanced critical and creative thought. Together the integrated program is designed to provide a practical foundation on which each student can develop his or her unique intellectual and visual articulation with confidence and integrity.

Therefore, the educational programs of the College develop:
Craftsmanship and technical skill in the use of materials and methods;
Discipline, as intuition and creativity are subjected to judgment and revision;
Knowledge of the history of art, ideas and human experience;
Critical thinking about ideas, events, intentions and issues in contemporary culture;
Mastery of writing and oral skills;
Commitment to a relentless pursuit of excellence;
Inspiration to fuel the intention and direction of the work;
Respect and tolerance for authenticity and diversity in the search for intellectual and aesthetic integrity;
Integration of the subjective, rational and technical in artistic practice.
Based on these principles, the Lyme Academy College offers a strong, sequential program designed to develop intellect and imagination, intensity of observation, sound craftsmanship, quality of execution, individual initiative and creativity, as well as depth of interpretation of ideas through artistic expression.
Ultimately, Lyme Academy College believes the Fine Arts are of unique importance as a defining, substantive element of society and life itself; further, that educated artists are individuals who not only articulate their culture but who give shape and substance to that culture.

Kwadwo Adae, Director
Kwadwo Adae holds a Master of Arts degree in Painting from New York University. He has been actively drawing and painting for the past twenty-three years.
After achieving skill as a Realist, Kwadwo progressed to painting stylized, abstracted figurative works in the late 1990's. During graduate school, his paintings evolved into the non-objective series he continues currently. The series known as Kwadrilaterals explores the intersection of visual art and mathematical theory and features surface textures which are sculptural in nature.
Mobile Art Studio (MAS)
In addition to the classes offered at our downtown Academy location, we offer a Mobile Art Studio Service to off-site locations, such as assisted living centers, retirement communities, teen centers and private homes. Programs are tailored to the needs and interests of the institution or individual, so contact us if you wish to learn more, arrange an in-person consultation or receive a proposal specifically designed for your facility.
New Haven Free Public Library Art Exhibition
It is important not only for artists to create artwork, but artists must exhibit their work for the public to see. In the late summer all Adae Fine Art Academy students are encouraged to show their artwork in our annual group exhibition at Azoth Gallery located in New Haven Free Public Library at 133 Elm Street in Downtown, New Haven.
