ART STUDENTS LEAGUE OF NEW YORK

The 'Art Students League of New York' is an art school founded in 1875.
Its creation came in response to both an anticipated gap in the program of the National Academy of Design's program of classes for that year, and longer-term desires for more variety and flexibility in education for artists.
When the Academy resumed a more typical, but liberalized, program, in 1877, there was some sentiment that the League had served its purpose, but its students voted to continue its program. It was incorporated in 1878. The American Fine Arts Building at 215 West 57th Street housed the group since 1892. From 1906 until 1922, and again after the end of World War II from 1947 until 1979, the League operated a summer school of painting at Woodstock, New York.
As of 2007, the League remains an important force in New York City art life.
