Summer Session

The New York Studio School annual Summer Session begins with the two-week Drawing and Sculpture Marathons. These are followed by five-week painting and sculpture courses.

The School's location in the heart of New York City's cultural center, and its proximity to many major museums and galleries provide an extraordinary resource for foreign students and students from around the country.

Those enrolled in full-time programs elsewhere are encouraged to take advantage of the Summer Session. The session also offer students the opportunity to get a taste of the School's full-time program prior to enrollment.

The Summer Session is organized in specific paths in order to better facilitate an entire teaching and learning process. The individual parts of the program are listed below.

Summer Session 2008

Each in-house Marathon is available as a separate intensive. However, we encourage students to take the full seven-week concentrations in order to fully take advantage of the opportunities provided.

Costs are listed below. For more information on the Sculpture Materials fee and the Arbor Vitae fees, please see here or contact the Director of Student Services.
