Why the League Needs Your Support
“My years of studying at the League imbued me with such love and respect for the facility itself and the caliber of its instructors. Giving back seemed the only logical thing to do to show that gratitude.”
—Donn Russell, Artist/gallerist, and creator of the Donn Russell Grant for Art Supplies

The Art Students League is determined to see its time-honored educational methods and supportive community endure and thrive. However, if the League is to keep its position as one of the most prestigious studio-based fine arts institutions in the nation, while also remaining the most affordable, your support is crucial. Tuition alone cannot cover the full cost of instruction or maintenance of our landmark building.
Contributions from artists, students and friends like you make possible affordable tuition and provide grants and scholarships to support the next generation of distinguished artists. Your gift can also sponsor an exhibition or support a specific program of your choice like Model to Monument, Exhibition Outreach, or Seeds of the League.
Please join your fellow artists, students, and friends in making an annual gift to the League. Every contribution helps the League make possible an extraordinary, life-changing education for all those with the vision and passion to create art. Your gift is the best way to show your appreciation for the institution that has deeply touched your life and the lives of countless others
