The Art Students League is pleased to present the culmination of an annual competition that awards $200,000 in grants and scholarships to students. This exhibition showcases the recent work of twenty-four exceptional artists who received major grants in 2017 and 2018, which were awarded by a jury of professional artists, critics, and gallerists. These grants, made possible by generous donations, offer full-time study at the League, inspirational travel, and the expansion of artistic practice.
