Depicting the Everyday: A Legacy of Fine Arts Education at the Art Students League
Lubin House, New York City
September 22, 2025 - February 9, 2026
Celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Arts Student League founded in the same year Syracuse University conferred the first Bachelors Degree in Painting, this exhibition explores the range of subject matters treated by artists who taught there throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. These artists honed their skills by turning to their everyday surroundings, depicting scenes they saw in the studio, making portraits of their friends and family, capturing the energy of the urban centers, and luxuriating in the tranquility of nature. In doing so, this installation highlights the enduring importance of both studying one’s environs and the role creativity and the fine arts play in education.
