About 369 Fine Art Academy
What is Art, and What Does It Bring to Us?
At 369 Fine Art Academy, we believe that art is more than a skill—it is energy. It awakens perception, nourishes creativity, and transforms the way we see and feel. Inspired by Nikola Tesla’s insight—“If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have the key to the universe”—we view the creative process as a flow of energy: Creation (3), Refinement (6), and Transformation (9).
Through hands-on exploration and thoughtful making, we aim to bring people closer to art—not as something distant or elite, but as something real, felt, and empowering. In this space, art becomes part of daily life. It becomes a source of vitality and a quiet strength that supports personal growth.
We welcome people of all ages and backgrounds to grow through art—not by chasing perfection, but by cultivating awareness, curiosity, and creative energy.
Our Mission
We aim to bring art closer to everyday people.
Not just to admire, but to do. To feel. To grow with.
Art is a way of seeing. A way of reconnecting with the self.
At 369 Fine Art Academy, we offer a space where individuals can experience the deep and lasting energy that art brings into daily life—through exploration, practice, and quiet joy.
