They do indeed deserve all that publicity.
I was teaching at the Florence Academy in 1999 and was very pleased to see what I saw: the total dedication to the academic school. Very fine group under the lead of Dan Graves - my hat is off to him, for starting that school.
I wrote an article (probably, one of the first articles of that kind at that time) about the valuable assets of the academic program at the Florence Academy. I even compared it to the old European academies, including the one I graduated from, the Surikov Academy in Moscow. They would have that article on the Art Renewal Center website ("Articles" section). Or if you subscribe to the International Artist, it is in the Feb/March 2000 issue. It's called "Why we must keep the traditions alive". To make it easier to identify that magazine issue, please see below the cover.
My very best to all,
