So many great artists have walked the halls and taught at this art center. The art classes are excellent. I love how you can take a class for one day, two days, one week, one month or longer. The teachers are all working artists who are extremely skilled. The best part is how reasonable and affordable the classes are compared to a taking one at a university in the area. If you're looking to brush up on your art skills, or have always wanted to learn how to draw I highly recommend The Arts Students League of New York.
The greatest and cheapest place to reconnect with your love of drawing and painting. James McElhinney will break your bad drawing habits and teach you how to see right and Dean Hartung's Saturday class will get you (re)started as an oil painter in a relaxed, improvisational, home-cookin' sort of way.
The facility, located almost across the street from Carnegie Hall, seems to ooze history and artistic energy. Even if you're not ready to sign up for a class, it's worth a peek inside. No need to wait for the next NYC art fair, either - there's often a art sale going on in the mezzanine with some very reasonably priced works.
