Mission

The New York Studio School offers an extraordinary studio arts program for aspiring artists. This education is a preamble to a lifetime’s engagement in drawing, painting, or sculpture. Students are encouraged to think independently and work with dedication. In a search for questions rather than facile conclusions, each student develops a work ethic and philosophy for life appropriate to his or her own aesthetic. Upon completion of the Master of Fine Arts degree or Certificate Program, the student will depart the Studio School with a fine understanding of the language of art; an awakened imagination; a dedicated work habit; and a direct ambition for artistic production.
