Supporting Us
For nearly 150 years, the Art Students League of New York has been an instrumental force in the lives and education of artists who have shaped the history and global impact of American art. Founded by and for artists in 1875, the League makes high-quality, studio-based art education accessible to anyone with a passion for art. At the League, we believe that when art is accessible to all, anything is possible.
From supporting the recruitment of world-renowned instructors, and subsidizing the tuition of our exceptional students, to funding programs which inspire young people to pursue the arts, and helping to preserve the League’s permanent collection and archives—your support makes a difference, and helps to ensure the League will be able to carry out its mission for another 150 years.
The League’s exceptional alumni, such as Georgia O'Keeffe, Norman Rockwell, Jackson Pollock, Robert Rauschenberg, Louise Bourgeois, Alexander Calder, Norman Lewis, James Rosenquist, Carmen Herrera, Tschabalala Self, Ai-Weiwei, and many others, were able to follow their artistic journeys due to support from donors like you. Help us bring our vision of accessible art education for all to life for the next generation of artists.
