Lectures /
Two weekly evening lectures are held at the New York Studio School during the regular fall and spring semesters.
Lectures are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted. Seating is limited.
Sign-language interpretation will provided for those lectures designated with an asterisk(*). Please e-mail ckee@nyss.org to reserve a designated seat.
Tuesdays, emerging and established artists speak on their own work or artistic issues. Wednesdays, art critics and historians give both historical and contemporary takes on the art world and its artists.
The Evening Lecture Series is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts and by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. The Evening Lecture Series is also supported in part through the generosity of the Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation and the Charles Engelhard Foundation, as well as the contributions of its guests. The New York Studio School would like to thank all of its supporters.
