The idea of personality development through art promised unlimited prospects and contrasted with the traditional art pedagogy prevailing at the time. A free, creative person is equally important in every changing society, both then and now. Enthusiasm opened many doors and brought together like-minded individuals. We settled in the Vilnius Teachers&#8217; House. A bright, wide-windowed, large auditorium resembled a Parisian attic. The beautiful studio and others nearby quickly turned into a bustling space of activity. I&#8217;m glad we managed to create a school where I would have wanted to study myself.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Currently, art classes led by professional artists take place daily in 4 spacious studios. Exhibitions of students&#8217; and teachers&#8217; artwork are regularly organized in the Teachers&#8217; House gallery &#8220;Corridor&#8221; and other spaces. There are plein airs, events, excursions, and summer creative camps. There is a specialized library consisting of over 1000 publications.
