The "bargain" Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Arts is 30k per year for tuition, plus the cost of living in LA: https://laafa.edu/tuition-financial-aid/

But the correct advice is to not plan on a career in art unless your parents are rich. Studio space is expensive. Cultural fit within the business side of art requires navigating the world of wealth. Knowing rich people helps because that is knowing potential customers.
