Your support of Seeds of the League provides free art education programming and career development support for NYC youth, with priority given to youth of color or youth from low-income communities. Seeds students and alumni receive ongoing mentorship from staff as they work toward a career in the arts; many of our graduates remain connected to the League community long after their time as "Seedlings."
Support this fund to ensure that talented artists facing financial hardship can continue their studies uninterrupted, removing barriers that could derail their artistic journey.
Your contribution sustains free exhibitions and public programs that showcase the work of our students, instructors, and alumni while engaging thousands of visitors in dialogue about art and culture.
By giving to Works in Public, you provide underrepresented artists with the training, mentorship, and resources to create large-scale public artworks that enrich New York City’s cultural landscape via a program that remains the only public art fellowship of its kind in the country.
A gift to this fund preserves the League’s 150-year legacy, ensuring that current students, scholars, and future generations can access our permanent collection, archives, and histroic records.
Your unrestricted support ensures we can sustain day-to-day operations, and continue delivering accessible, high-quality arts education to thousands of artists each year.
