November 7–23
The Phyllis Harriman Mason Gallery
Reception: Tuesday, November 8, 6:00 pm–8:00 pm

This annual exhibition showcases the work of emerging student artists who have earned the Art Students League's prestigious grants. Patrons of the League who established grants, some going back many decades, realized long ago the importance of recognizing the accomplishments of League artists. Today the grants encourage all our students to strive for that recognition. While the League has always exhibited the work of grant winners (for many years in the gallery at Avery Fisher Hall), this is the fourth Grant Winners exhibition held in the League's Phyllis Harriman Mason Gallery. It is with great pride that the League presents the 2011 Grant Winners Exhibition, featuring the work of students who earned the League grants in 2009.
