Landmark building when the first museum to showcase American art
I had a very difficult experience with this institution, and I absolutely do not recommend it.
I tried to apply to one of their academic programs, and the admissions process was aggressive, racist, arrogant, and completely out of proportion. The attitude was extremely judgmental and unprofessional.
After spending many hours preparing my materials and paying money, the interview was humiliating and hostile, and they didn’t even let me see the recommendation letters that were sent on my behalf.
I was deeply hurt by their treatment and behavior.
This is a very small school – only a few dozen students – pretending to be something much bigger, but the facilities are old, smelly, and neglected, and everything feels stuck in time.
The teachers and staff were also cold, unfriendly, and unkind.
I strongly recommend that you stay away from this place and don’t waste your time or money.
Feel free to contact me if you want to hear more about what I went through there
The art school offers inspiring classes and helps students grow their creativity and skills.
The Drawing Marathon is fantastic.
It catapults you into another realm.
Many fine artists in my group, and it was inspiring to see
all the different approaches.
Someone gave it one star because it doesn't follow button-down, academic traditions. (Thank God!)
If you want same-old, same-old go to Art Students League.
If you want to grow as an artist, this is your place.
I was able to get a great scholarship so that is was affordable and I will continue to go back for lectures as my career progresses. Financial aid is available and the school is willing to work with you if you are struggling with it. I haven't had any issues with my accreditation and I have received several residencies and work positions without any issues.
I would highly suggest doing the drawing marathons. I have done over twelve throughout my career and they have helped me immensely with any artist block. They are a great way to get outside of your comfort zone. Regardless of what you do the studio school has people who will help you find your voice. They certainly helped me.
