Ashcan Art | Univ & Art High School Portfolio Prep, Art Competition Prep, Pottery Class Little Neck, Adult Art Class — Attraction in New York

Where do I even begin? I’m a senior ready to run off to my dream college, thanks to the help of Ashcan. I cannot stress how helpful and experienced these teachers are—each and every one of them. The program they offer is rigorous and structured, a real test of what your full potential looks like. They will guide you to think in the right direction and bolster the ideas you bring to the table. You’re never alone while brainstorming. The talented and ambitious students around you will become your best buddies, there is no one that understands your troubles and roadblocks better than your peers here. And there is always a teacher who you could lean on.

Truthfully, it goes without saying you will lose some things committing to such a rigorous schedule. It's definitely not for everyone. But I have yet to regret any of the time I’ve spent in my designated seat by my friends, making art, spending the summer together, crying together, laughing together--in the end, what i've earned from being at Ashcan was getting an acceptance letter to Cornell, amazing friends, and my art that I...

Incredible. I’ve been coming here for almost two years now, and I just have to say that the entire studio is just about perfect, not only for prime portfolio building, but also as a place to meet great people. The environment is really friendly, full of charismatic teachers and outgoing students. The receptionist at the front is really nice and always on top of things, always organized to make sure each student’s experience and progress is optimal. The teachers are young and really connect with the age group of the students here. They allow you to pursue your most creative ideas and ambitious endeavors to unlock your full artistic potential, unlike the limiting school art classes. They make the grueling process of assembling a portfolio into a fun and memorable experience, even enjoyable. Shoutout to Ms. Woo, one of the most inspirational and helpful teachers I’ve ever met.

Don’t miss out on the magic of ashcan. Come...
