Testimonials

"I love the Art Students League. It’s such a welcoming place. I always feel so accepted, and I leave feeling like I have learned something new. I do pottery, and it has honestly been the best thing ever." - Rylan, Teen Studio Night participant

"Working at ASLD has taught me the important role that art has to make changes for the good of the community, in my case the immigrant and Latino community. I love the freedom that I have as an artist and educator at ASLD to introduce, in my case, my art style and expertise in the Performance Art field and expressive art and how the staff at ASLD appreciate who I am as an immigrant and Latina artist." - Adriana Rondón-Rivero, ASLD Faculty

"Recently, I have really found joy and healing by creating together with others at ASLD. With the smaller class sizes, it really provides a more intimate atmosphere for building community. Now, I am trying to bring art to others as a form of therapy. Everything I've learned through ASLD will be incorporated into my therapeutic workshops in some way, whether it be the stories we shared, the techniques that I didn't even learn in art school, or the sense that I was heard, and that presence was appreciated." -Shieka Leslie-Eke, Student

"It was a fun way to connect with my creative side. It was stress-free and a great way to feel more like a human and less like an inmate." - Art in Prison Workshop Participant

"ASLD has allowed me to explore art in many different ways. Not only has it taught me to draw and paint, it has given me the opportunity to grow at my own pace. It has allowed me to have access to incredible artists on an ongoing basis to learn from them and get mentorship from them. ASLD has given me the space to decide how deeply I want to go as an artist." - Kenneth Brewer, Student & Board Member

"ASLD continues to be such a wellspring of artistic expression and learning for the whole community.  In particular, ASLD has continued to support my endeavors and offer me a chance to thrive through the interaction with other fabulous artists.  I appreciate all that the organization does and the future directions it is headed." - Bruce Zander, ASLD Donor

"I have received a great deal personally being a member at ASLD. As a result of my experience as a student, and a Life-Long Board member, I feel responsible for making sure this community gem survives so others can be as enriched by the gift of art as I have been." - Connie McArthur, Student & Lifetime Board Member

“The space, materials, and even the snacks provided for the children help create an environment where I can be my most authentic self. It’s a joy to offer students such a meaningful and unique experience. Being part of the faculty at the Art Students League is incredibly important to me as an educator. It allows me to build my own craft while collaborating with others. While I focus on the process of art-making, there’s also a sense of pride in hearing students’ positive reactions, especially when they say, 'This is the coolest thing I’ve ever made.'" Eliza Eckley, Summer Camp Instructor and Faculty
