The Art Students League of New York

The Art Students League educates students in the language and process of making art in an environment where anyone who wishes to pursue an art education can realize his or her full potential. Classes are based on the atelier system in which a working artist trains students in a studio setting. You can register and start classes at any time. The average cost of a full-time, five day-a-week class (18.75 hours per week) is just $200. Part-time evening classes (two nights a week) are just $100 to $115 a month. The 2010-11 Regular Session of League classes opened September 7.


Summer classes start Monday, June 6 and registration opens May 2. Click the link for more information and to access a schedule.

Areas of Instruction – Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Printmaking


Students can select from varied classes and workshops in six key areas of concentration. Classes and workshops are taught by working artist–instructors who represent a wide range of artistic philosophies and techniques and are practiced in working with students of all skill levels. Students also learn from their fellow art students. The Art Students League of New York also offers art classes for children.
