We Fancy Opening Reception

On June 2, 1875, a group of art students had the radical idea to create their own art school—one designed for and run byindependent artists.These students broke away from theNational Academy of Design and started the Art Students League of New York—an atelier-style institution whereanyone with an interest in art education can learn traditional fine art technique.Withmore than 100 classes taught in-studio and online, League students make art from day one. League artistslearn by doing, under the guidance of professional artist instructors. Free from a set curriculum and restrictive grading system, League students can focus on making art.There are no applications or prerequisites.

Celebrate the opening of We Fancy: A Legacy of LGBTQIA+ Artists at the League.

<p>Celebrate the opening of <em>We Fancy: A legacy of LGBTQIA+ Artists at the League. </em>Since its inception, the Art Students League has been a site of unbridled creativity and a home for radical artmakers who reject social norms in the name of Art. It is not surprising that many LGBTQIA+ artists have found the League to be a space where they can express themselves and create art that expresses their honest, proud, and emboldened lives. The artists included in this exhibition all studied or taught at the League, and they each played a unique role in helping to lay the foundation for the acceptance and popularization of queer aesthetics as we know them today.  </p>
