New York Studio School Marathons engage the practices of drawing, painting, and sculpture as direct methodologies for understanding one’s experience in the world. Guided by extensive group and individual critiques, artists are exposed to a wide range of process-driven approaches to making art, new visual languages, and experimentation. The innovation and depth of these 10-day programs expand participants’ fluency with materials and lead to new ways of thinking and creating that continue far beyond the conclusion of each program.
Open to artists of all levels, courses are taught daily in-person or virtually in real-time from 9am to 6pm (ET).
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
Generous partial scholarships are available.

About NYSS
The New York Studio School was founded in 1964 as an intensive studio arts program with an emphasis on perception, artists learning from artists, and drawing as the most direct means of describing one’s ideas or experiences.
To learn more about our full-time programs (MFA, Certificate, and Virtual Certificate) or additional part-time options (Evening & Weekend Classes, Drawing, and Sculpture Master Classes), please email [email protected] with any questions or schedule a virtual or in-person visit.
Full-Time Program Highlight
The Virtual Certificate Program is an extraordinary opportunity for artists to pursue their full-time education with NYSS from their respective home studios. Artists from around the world are invited to participate in a structured real-time curriculum, led by the school’s dedicated faculty, with many options to study in person throughout the duration of the three-year program. Virtual Certificate students can attend NYC-based Marathons each semester or choose in-person study for entire semesters at a time, cultivating a self-directed course of study that best supports one’s individual goals and life structure.
