823+ New Students to begin in CE Education in December

On November 7th, the Department of Continuing Education ran a promotional offer inviting users of the social media site LIVING SOCIAL to sign up for two different 6-hour workshops (Introduction to Figure Drawing or Introduction to Painting).  The anticipated target was 100 to 150 students.  The offer was posted at 8am, and by 6pm more than 823 people had PAID for one or both workshops!  To accommodate the huge number of additional students several current MFA students and alumni have been hired to assist teaching these courses.  We anticipate a much larger enrollment for the Spring, 2012 Continuing Education semester.

Iconomancy: The Magic of Art

by Manish Vora

"I have long been a supporter of The New York Academy of Art, the first graduate school in the US devoted exclusively to figurative art. Through the efforts of President David Kratz and an extremely active board led by arts patron and historian Eileen Guggenheim, the NYAA has gone from a quiet, Tribeca-based school to a major international arts academy. The latest exhibition, titled Iconomancy, features artists like Will Cotton, Tat Ito, Natalie Frank, Amy Bennett, Ali Banisadr, Will Kurtz, and Peter Mühlhäußer.
