WELCOME The National Academy School is an institution commi�ed to innovation and experimentation in contemporary art. At the same time, we are one of America’s oldest art schools, steeped in a tradition and a heritage that is the result of nearly two centuries of input and creativity from students and faculty – including such distinguished artists as Winslow Homer, George Inness and Willem de Kooning. We o¢er courses in a range of genres and media, all taught by professional artists who emphasize one-to-one mentorship and a collaborative learning environment, designed for all ages and skill levels. Please browse this catalog or go online to find the course that is right for you.

Students at the National Academy School can take advantage of multiple opportunities to exhibit their work, both in the National Academy Museum and the School galleries, including in Creative Mischief, an annual touchstone exhibition for the entire Academy. Students also have access to workshops, lectures, panel discussions, critiques and myriad other Academy events, many involving National Academicians, the members of the Academy who are America’s premier artists and architects.

The learning environment and its overarching spirit of discovery is fueled by many things, not the least of which being the international make-up of both the faculty and student body. Our global School community of artists fosters a collaborative, inventive atmosphere for all.

The School is also immersed in the vibrant art scene of New York City’s museums and galleries, and we take full advantage of our location in the midst of New York’s famed Museum Mile and adjacent to Central Park, o¢ering students a wealth of inspiration from the urban and natural landscapes that surround us.

Clearly, National Academy students are provided many opportunities. But we also request contributions from the students as well, in the form of a dedication and commitment to their work, to improvement, and an openness to try new things. We look to students to build on their creative foundations, and to work toward a crystallized artistic vision to guide them as they progress toward their personal goals.

For those looking to forge a career as a professional artist, we provide expert instruction on the business of art, including courses on website and portfolio development, crafting powerful messages for your artist statement, and legal concerns. But those interested in pursuing a long-held artistic passion or seeking a creative outlet find a home as well, learning, experimenting, exploring.

We all work hard at the National Academy School – our devoted instructors, sta¢ and our students – but we also have an enjoyable time together, in an atmosphere ideally suited to expand your creativity and maximize your potential. But our Fifth Avenue home is just that: a house where all of us – professional artist-to-be, art enthusiasts, school-age devotees and young children – practice and enjoy art. Regardless of age or skill level or ambition, you will feel at home here.

If you have questions about courses, the facilities or the workings of the School, feel free to contact the School o¤ce at 212.996.1908, or email me at [email protected]. I would welcome the chance to work with you and hope you will add your distinct perspective to the rich legacy of the National Academy School.
