ABOUT
Founded in 1998, Tomato Art School is an International Art Program that provides one of the best Art courses in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Mr. Shin Don Cheol, graduate of Korea’s No.1 University- Seoul National University, established an art school for students of all ages after settling down in Jakarta. Originally, the school was centered towards the Korean community in Jakarta. But with a high number of students accepted to World’s best universities, the school grew rapidly opening up a new chapter for International students living in Jakarta to prepare strong portfolios for universities.
Now, with the 20-years-experienced program, Tomato Art School exclusively supports all students in Indonesia to receive high quality Art education for classes ranging from Elementary, Middle/High School, Portfolio preparation and Hobby. Accommodating both beginners and advanced level students we help prepare students for university, college and further education in the Arts. We are proud to have sent about 400 students to Top universities around the world, mostly with Scholarships.
Every year, the school holds “Tomato Art Exhibition” to provide a platform for all participating students to showcase their artworks and get feedback from the audiences as individual artists. Through the event we see our students mature internally after striving for their achievements. We strongly believe that this experience will build good foundation for students to compete in the real Art world. We also hold collaborations with charities and organizations to provide opportunities for engagement within the social community in Indonesia.
We focus on developing the uniqueness and creativity within each student as individuals, looking at their potentials. In this way the students build self-confidence to express their talents.
