“150 Years of Artmaking: Highlights from the Art Students League of New York” presented by Ksenia Nouril, in person, at The Atelier at Flowerfield, Saturday, October 5th, 3PM

Please join us in welcoming Ksenia Nouril, Gallery Director and Curator at the Art Students League of New York, as she presents this first in house lecture.

In this illustrated lecture, Nouril will regale you with the founding history of the Art Students League of New York, which has taught art in the atelier-style method since 1875. She will highlight recent exhibitions and programs along with top-tier works from its permanent collection, including masterpieces by William Merritt Chase, Joseph Delaney, Harvey Dinnerstein, Norman Lewis, Reginald Marsh, Georgia O’Keeffe, and others.

The Art Students League of New York was founded in 1875 by a group of art students who had the revolutionary idea that a fine art education should be accessible to all. In the nearly one hundred and fifty years since, the League has built a legacy as a school where a diverse community of artists are inspired to produce work that reflects their full potential. Hundreds of history-making artists studied or taught at the League, including Georgia O’Keeffe, Norman Rockwell, Hans Hoffman, Charles White, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Al Hirschfeld, Barnett Newman, Norman Lewis, David Smith, Mavis Pusey, Roy Lichtenstein, Romare Bearden, James Rosenquist, Adrian Piper, Louise Nevelson, Louise Bourgeois, Robert Rauschenberg, Pacita Abad, Lee Bontecou, Ai Weiwei, and more.

Prior to Ksenia Nouril’s lecture, you will be entertained by The Ember Winds Project, featuring clarinetists Heather O’Gara and Alex Yu. Refreshments will be served.
