![Registration is now OPEN for our Fall Evening & Weekend Classes! We offer both in-person and virtual sections of 11-week classes, where artists can experience the School's "learning through making" pedagogy firsthand. This is a great way to learn alongside other working artists and join the NYSS community.
Classes begin September 22, after the Fall Marathons take place. Enrollment is open and participants may choose as many courses as they like. [🔗Link in Bio]](https://nyss.org/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
