Student Salons 2026

Our annual series of Student Salons showcases work from every discipline taught at the Art Students League with new exhibitions featuring several classes on display each week. The Student Salons are an opportunity to become familiar with the wide range of classes that are offered at the League and give visitors a chance to encounter work by artists in the early stages of their careers.
