Celebrating Creative Youth
PS ART showcases the creativity and talent of New York City’s public school
students. Through a wide variety of media—painting, drawing, sculpture, collage,
photography, and mixed media—the exhibition features thoughtful depictions of
everyday life and fantastical imagery by young artists from all five boroughs.
The work in the exhibit reveals the freshness of expression and the joy of discovery
of some of the City’s youngest artists. It also shows the increased level of observation,
skill, and mastery that older students develop working with their art teachers as they
progress through school. By creating art from pre-Kindergarten through high school,
students learn that their dedication has great rewards, including both personal
satisfaction and the power to affect others.
Studio in a School’s partnership with the New York City Department of Education
and The Metropolitan Museum of Art creates an opportunity for New Yorkers, as well
as visitors from around the world, to view this work and appreciate the talents of
these young artists.
Studio is committed to nurturing the artistic ability of public school students through
programs at public schools and early childhood centers throughout New York City.
We also offer free after-school, weekend, and vacation workshops to help promising
young people develop their portfolios. Graduating seniors receive Studio in a School
scholarships to continue their art studies in college.
We are proud to partner on P.S. Art, which demonstrates how the visual arts enrich
all of our lives, creators and viewers alike.
Sincerely,
Christopher Wisniewski
