Liceo Artistico

The Liceo Artistico is a specialized art school in Zürich with studios for painting, sculpture, and design alongside modern computer facilities for digital work. The building serves as both a school and villa with recognized cultural value in the region.

Founded in 1986, it became the first public art gymnasium in the Canton of Zürich. Its bilingual education in German and Italian established a new model for arts-focused learning in the region.

The school maintains strong ties to Italy, visible in annual study weeks abroad and through exhibitions that bring Italian artistic voices into the learning space. This cross-border identity shapes how students engage with art and design from both perspectives.

The school provides nine hours of art instruction weekly covering two-dimensional work, three-dimensional design, and architectural drawing with professional tools. Check opening times in advance, as access may vary depending on school activities and exhibitions.

Graduates receive a dual-language diploma granting access to universities and art academies across Switzerland and Italy. This credential opens career pathways that extend beyond traditional national boundaries.
