This annual exhibition showcases the work of emerging artists who earned the Art Students League’s prestigious grants. The culmination of their studies over the last two years represents a range of approaches to contemporary artistic practice. Throughout its history, patrons of the League established travel and study grants to recognize the accomplishments of League students and to further support their development. Today the grants program encourages all our students to strive for that recognition.
