From Georgia O’Keeffe to Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko to Louise Nevelson, Ai Weiwei to James Little, the Art Students League has been a major force in shaping American art. Created in 1875, at the dawn of New York’s influence in the international art scene, a small group of tenacious artists broke off from the National Academy of Design. For 150 years, the Art Students League has been a haven for countless artists, who use the freedom it affords them to explore diverse artistic practices, methodologies, and mediums while developing a mastery of traditional techniques. Since its founding, the Art Students League has been making high-quality studio art education accessible to all. Today, we offer more than 100 classes and workshops in drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media, and more, taught in-studio and online.
