July 9 - July 27

The Art Students League of New York proudly presents the 2024 Final Project Exhibition, at High Line Nine, an arcade of galleries in Manhattan’s West Side Chelsea neighborhood, from the 9th through 27th of July.

This annual exhibition celebrates artists who have recently completed a course of intensive study within the League’s renowned atelier system to earn a Certificate of Fine Art in Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture, Drawing, and Mixed Media. Featuring six international artists, this year’s exhibition touches upon themes of identity, immigration, and climate change whilst exploring techniques in portraiture, collage, and sound art. This year’s exhibition, organized by the League’s Gallery Director and Curator Ksenia Nouril, PhD, with Esther Moerdler, Curatorial Assistant, features work by League artists Chuyao He, Alison Jones, Julia Meshcheriakova, Mariana Osorio, Tomoko Takeda, and Milagros Villanueva.

ABOUT THE ART STUDENTS LEAGUE OF NEW YORK
