The Art Students League educates students in the language and process of making art in an environment where anyone who wishes to pursue an art education can realize his or her full potential. Classes are based on the atelier system in which a working artist trains students in a studio setting. You can register and start classes at any time. The average cost of a full-time, five day-a-week class (18.75 hours per week) is just $210. Part-time evening classes (two nights a week) are just $111 a month. 

Please note, effective for registration for January 2012 classes, League tuition is being raised 5% to help cover rising costs. The League remains committed to affordably priced classes open to all. This is the League’s first price increase in more than two years. The new monthly price for a full-time class (five mornings or afternoons each week) will be $210, or just $2.55 per hour. The 2012 price increases are reflected on this page and on the class schedules for specific disciplines accessible here.
