Alumni

Throughout its history, the School has seen a variety of students pass through its doors, from those who helped form the School at its very beginning under the leadership of Mercedes Matter, to the most recent group of MFA graduates. Alumni are spread across the world, and we consider it a privilege to have such a diverse group of people representing the School.

The New York Studio School Alumni Association (NYSSAA)

The New York Studio School Alumni Association is a voluntary, membership-oriented arm of the New York Studio School composed of former graduates and students of the school. We believe our alumni are fundamental stakeholders of the institution and value their contributions to the School, the art world and to each other’s creative lives.

The mission of the NYSSAA is to

1)    Foster an extended artistic community of alumni to communicate information and ideas that will support, enhance and promote each other’s professional artistic endeavors and

2)    Support the New York Studio School and its goal of educating future artists in a rigorous pursuit of drawing, painting or sculpture.
