Opportunities in the Visual Arts Await
We provide opportunities for learners of all ages through visual arts education and career development programs.
Since 1977, Studio in a School (SIAS) has been committed to bringing professional artists into New York City classrooms to teach visual arts programs to over a million students.
This commitment has enabled us to develop a unique expertise in the field of arts education. We conduct research, share tested innovations and assessment methods, and provide curriculum and classroom program models to arts and educational communities.
