You don't have to go to Europe to attend a top notch art atelier. There are many listed on the Art Renewal Center's website. One of them is right here in Seattle.

That said, the Florence Academy might be worth attending just for the experience of living in Europe. There is no right answer as to whether that is the "correct" choice for you and your husband, of course. There is no way of knowing how it will turn out.

You should probably do a LOT of research about the various schools, here and abroad. I made the mistake of choosing the first art school I knew of, and wasted years and lots of money. Of course there were only one or two ateliers in North America at the time, none of which I was aware of.)

I would suggest the Art Renewal Center's website as a first place to look. Read everything you can about the schools they recommend, for starters, then talk to alumni.

Keep us posted as to what you decide to do.
