ABOUT US:

For more than a century, Educational Alliance Art School has been a platform of opportunity by which New Yorkers of all ages and backgrounds have pursued creative expression, skill acquisition, and arts appreciation. Seminal artists—including revolutionary American sculptors Chaim Gross and Louise Nevelson, as well as the great Abstract Expressionist painter Mark Rothko—have served as students and faculty here, and today, the Art School at Manny Cantor Center is one of New York City’s premier community art schools, with an expansive selection of classes and workshops to choose from. 

Whether in person or via Zoom, our classes feature personalized instruction in a small-group setting. We are committed to serving the greatest diversity of students, out of our belief that everyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, or socio-economic status, should have the opportunity for self-expression and lifelong learning.

Student Testimonials

  • The instructor was a fantastic teacher. He is clear, concise, funny, approachable, and very knowledgeable. I can't wait to take a class with him again.
    Art School Student
  • The most rewarding part is when my fellow students share their work. That inspiration is the value of the studio setting.

  • I found the instructors were prepared for the lesson and then responded really well to questions ... the hour and a half flew. The instructor was excellent at responding to people and keeping the zoom issues from being distracting. I found the instructors very positive and able to give real feedback on people's work.

  • I was somewhat worried about doing a zoom class but this experience was such a pleasure that I feel like it has opened up new doors of learning opportunities.
