Guided by world-class artists in our atelier-style studios and supported by our gallery, permanent collection, community programs, and robust scholarships, the League offers accessible pathways to learning fundamental studio-based skills.
Program accomplishments
- STUDIO-BASED ART INSTRUCTION AT THE ART STUDENTS LEAGUE OF NEW YORK STUDENTS STUDY DRAWING, PAINTING, SCULPTURE, PRINTMAKING, AND ASSEMBLAGE IN MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS, TAUGHT BY RENOWNED INSTRUCTORS. THE LEAGUE OFFERS STUDENTS AFFORDABLE MONTH-TO-MONTH CLASSES, WITH NO APPLICATIONS OR PREREQUISITES. AT THE LEAGUE, STUDENTS FIND THE FREEDOM TO PURSUE AN ART EDUCATION FREE FROM THE CONSTRAINTS OF DOGMA. CLASSES ARE TAUGHT BY PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS, AND THE LEAGUE HAS A LONG HISTORY OF INFLUENTIAL INSTRUCTORS, MANY OF WHOM HAVE PRODUCED HISTORICALLY REMARKABLE STUDENTS. AN ENVIRONMENT BUILT ON MENTORSHIP, COLLEGIALITY, AND DIVERSE ART-MAKING PRACTICES IS CENTRAL TO OUR PEDAGOGY. SINCE THE 19TH CENTURY, THE LEAGUE HAS TAUGHT CLASSES IN PERSON, IN OUR ATELIERS, AT OUR LANDMARKED BUILDING IN MIDTOWN, MANHATTAN. IN JUNE 2021, THE LEAGUE PROUDLY LAUNCHED OUR PLATFORM FOR ONLINE LEARNING, MAKING OUR STUDIO-BASED ART INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS AROUND THE WORLD.Expenses $10,703,057 · grants $89,330 · revenue $6,040,780
- SEEDS OF THE LEAGUE PROGRAM THROUGH SEEDS OF THE LEAGUE AND OUR UNIQUE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION, WE ARE REACHING OUT BEYOND OUR WALLS INTO THE BROADER COMMUNITY. TEACHING ARTISTS ARE PLACED IN PARKS & RECREATION CENTERS AROUND THE CITY TO OFFER STRUCTURED AFTER-SCHOOL ARTS PROGRAMMING WHERE LITTLE OR NO ART INSTRUCTION WAS PREVIOUSLY AVAILABLE. THE OBJECTIVES ARE TO GIVE THE CHILDREN A SENSE OF TEAMWORK AND CREATIVITY, TWO ASPECTS WHICH WILL REMAIN IMPORTANT TO THEM FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. FOR EXAMPLE, THIS WAS ILLUSTRATED BY EXPLAINING AND SHOWING PICTURES OF LASCAUX ABORIGINAL CAVES AND THE COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS USED IN CREATING THEM AND HOW YOUNG TEENS WERE THE FIRST TO DISCOVER THE CAVES. THE NEXT STEP WAS TO ASK STUDENTS WHAT THEY WOULD DRAW ON CAVES TO BE FOUND FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. USING KRAFT PAPER, PASTELS AND OTHER MATERIALS THEY CREATED THEIR OWN IMAGERY. THE TEACHING ARTIST CREATED MANY STENCILS OUT OF MYLAR, WHICH THE CHILDREN HELPED SPRAY ONTO THE PAPER FURTHER ENHANCING THE LOOK OF A CAVE. THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY PROJECTS USED TO INSPIRE CREATIVITY, TEAMWORK, AND SELF CONFIDENCE. THEY CAN'T DO IT INCORRECTLY - IT'S ART.Expenses $329,548 · revenue $159,669
