YOU CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE AT NEW YORK SCHOOL OF THE ARTS
New York School of the Arts is committed to education, innovation, and experimentation in art. We have a dedicated faculty of professional artists who have inspired a creative learning environment throughout a wide range of fine arts disciplines.
Our goal is to help our students develop their personal artistic vision, and to simply enjoy the process of creativity. Learning, experimenting, exploring, and passion are the core pillars of our school, which is open to all skill levels and needs.
New York School of the Arts uses the atelier-based technique of teaching, as well as new disciplines of study. Our courses focus on conceptual thinking, theory, art history, and the development of criticism within a real studio space. The school is a close knit community of dedicated artists who come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
