The Art Students League of New York is committed to helping students make their way into the professional arena and to gain recognition for their accomplishments. The Apprenticeship Program and the Vytlacil Residency Program are both designed to further hone the skills of those students who are ready to take on the challenges of a being a professional artist.
Apprenticeships
 Prior to the proliferation of colleges and universities with degree-granting art programs, artists-in-training honed their skills from established Masters as apprentices. For the first time since its founding, The Art Students League of New York is adding to its own time-honored model of atelier-based instruction by reuniting the past and the present in its new Apprenticeship program.
Continuing to challenge the model of art instruction now practiced in higher education, the Apprenticeship program is designed for advanced students ready to take on the challenges of living as a professional artist. The program offers students the rare opportunity to work closely with League artists/instructors in their studios outside of the League, learning about successful studio practices and professional career development through the first-hand experience.

Vytlacil Residency Program
The Vytlacil Campus of the Art Students League of New York provides a refuge to working artists in the studio-based, atelier tradition, bringing artists together for intensive instruction in a Residency program. The campus is a meeting place, forum and residency for outstanding students and practicing artists from around the world.
Resident artists will benefit from an artistic exchange with fellow participants, comprised of regional and local artists and artists from around the world. Our vision for the Residency program is to encourage an open dialogue among visual artists, architects, authors, philosophers, and the humanities as they relate to the visual arts.
Artists can reside for a one or two month stay at 'Vyt', whose 15 acre campus is close to New York City but set in an idyllic lower Hudson River Valley landscape. The environmental character of the landscape lends itself to the study and advancement of visual arts inspired by the connection between man and nature.
The facilities include a restored residence and barn of Vaclav Vytlacil, one of the founders of American modernism and former Art Students League instructor. Facilities include the Trudy & Henry Gillette painting studio and a newly built sculpture studio, which includes a foundry, smithing and welding facilities, and a large walk-in kiln. The studios, living and working quarters are sensitively built into the breathtaking landscape and the house, library and gallery comprise a historic property built in Victorian/Gothic architecture style.
Space is limited to eight artists per month. Residency artists are offered a single or double room with shared baths and one catered meal per day. In addition to having access to a communal full kitchen, laundry facilities, two full and two half baths, a library, computer access, and all studios, guest artists may partake in any of the classes or workshops offered. This includes participation in monthly critique sessions with invited guest artists, philosophers and historians. Trips to New York City museums and studios can be arranged. Each artist is invited to exhibit work at the Elizabeth Sullivan Gallery on campus at the end of their stay.
Residency fees are $2500.00 for a single room per month.
