Each year, the Art Students League reaches 5,000 students of all ages through our unique atelier-based art education. For nearly one hundred fifty years, our legendary history has been shaped by a mission to provide an accessible fine art education to all who seek it.

Art Students League instructors and students continue to define American art — from Jackson Pollock to Mark Rothko, from Louise Bourgeois to Ai WeiWei, from Georgia O'Keeffe to Pacita Abad, and on and on.

The Art Students League's annual gala raises funds to keep arts education within reach for all New Yorkers and provides hundreds of scholarships. Through our Seeds of the League community program, we reach 8,000 New York City school children each year in underserved areas across the city. The arts help underserved students succeed: nearly 100% of Seeds students have gone on to college and to develop careers in the arts.

Prints by James Little

For the League’s 2024 Gala, artist, League Instructor, and honoree James Little is creating four prints with master printer Luther Davis at Powerhouse Arts. Based on original artworks selected from the depth and breadth of Little’s career, the prints will each be in an edition of 50. They include a never-before-seen gouache on paper from the 1980s and a recent homage to the legendary singer and actress Eartha Kitt. Actual prints may differ slightly from what is pictured here.  Prints will be available early Fall 2024.
