A League of Nations explores the Art Students League as a creative nexus for artists from around the world since 1875. This thematic group exhibition features over 26 artists born outside of the United States who found themselves at the League as either students or instructors during some portion of their career. Whether it was decades of study or a single month-long class, their engagement with the League has impacted their artistic practice. In turn, they are part of the richly diverse fabric that makes up the League to this day.
Founded by artists and for artists, the League has been instrumental in shaping America’s legacy of visual art, with some of the most influential artists in American history studying and teaching at the League throughout their careers. For nearly 150 years, the League has offered affordable and accessible classes and workshops, where aspiring artists study and train with renowned instructors.
This exhibition is curated by Ksenia Nouril, PhD, Gallery Director and Curator with Esther Moerdler, Curatorial Assistant.
