This year’s exhibition showcases the work of emerging artists who earned the Art Students League’s prestigious grants in 2013. Throughout its history, patrons of the League established travel and study grants to recognize the accomplishments of League students and to further support their development. Today the grants program encourages all our students to strive for that recognition. The exhibition continues in the school’s Phyllis Harriman Mason Gallery through October 17, 2015.
