Living Threads highlights the artist-to-artist relationships which foster ideas and energy foundational to a sustained artistic practice. The New York Studio School seeks to honor our pedagogical foundations and to applaud the like-minded transmission of artistic learning by hosting this invitational exhibition. The twenty-six pieces on view present works by thirteen pairs of artist-mentors and the emerging artists who have studied with them in recent years.
