The Milan Art Institute is the culmination of 25 years of experience John and Elli Milan have had with their successful careers of being professional artists. Throughout these years, the couple has sold over 10,000 pieces of their own art.  John and Elli desperately wanted mentors throughout their entire careers to help guide them in the art world, but found that few successful artists were willing to help. That’s why the couple opened Milan Art Institute in 2010 with the dream of helping passionate artists build successful careers. Elli Milan has always held the belief that a rewarding and lucrative art career can be obtained by anyone with the passion and drive to work hard. She designed the Mastery Program curriculum specifically to launch an artist into a professional career in just one year. Every aspect of the program has been strategically crafted to carry artists through a year of skill building, self discovery and transformation.
