The League offers students affordable, month-to-month classes, with no applications or prerequisites. At The League, students find the freedom to pursue an art education free from the constraints of dogma. Classes are taught by professional artists, and The League has a long history of influential instructors, many of whom have produced historically remarkable students. An environment built on mentorship, collegiality, and diverse art-making practices is central to our pedagogy. Since the 19th century, The League has taught classes in-person, in our ateliers, at our landmark building in Midtown Manhattan. In June of 2021, The League proudly launched our e-telierT platform for online classes, making our studio-based art instruction available to students around the world. 611610 131117 2365 Seeds of the League program THROUGH SEEDS OF THE LEAGUE AND OUR UNIQUE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION, WE ARE REACHING OUT BEYOND OUR WALLS INTO THE BROADER COMMUNITY. TEACHING ARTISTS ARE PLACED IN PARKS & RECREATION CENTERS AROUND THE CITY TO OFFER STRUCTURED AFTER-SCHOOL ARTS PROGRAMMING WHERE LITTLE OR NO ART INSTRUCTION WAS PREVIOUSLY AVAILABLE. THE OBJECTIVES ARE TO GIVE THE CHILDREN A SENSE OF TEAMWORK AND CREATIVITY, TWO ASPECTS WHICH WILL REMAIN IMPORTANT TO THEM FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. FOR EXAMPLE, THIS WAS ILLUSTRATED BY EXPLAINING AND SHOWING PICTURES OF LASCAUX ABORIGINAL CAVES AND THE COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS USED IN CREATING THEM AND HOW YOUNG TEENS WERE THE FIRST TO DISCOVER THE CAVES. THE NEXT STEP WAS TO ASK STUDENTS WHAT THEY WOULD DRAW ON CAVES TO BE FOUND FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. USING KRAFT PAPER, PASTELS AND OTHER MATERIALS THEY CREATED THEIR OWN IMAGERY. THE TEACHING ARTIST CREATED MANY STENCILS OUT OF MYLAR, WHICH THE CHILDREN HELPED SPRAY ONTO THE PAPER FURTHER ENHANCING THE LOOK OF A CAVE. THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY PROJECTS USED TO INSPIRE CREATIVITY, TEAMWORK, AND SELF-CONFIDENCE; THEY CAN'T DO IT INCORRECTLY - IT'S ART. 611610 347081 14258 Gallery Exhibition and Public Programs The League's historic gallery spaces include The American Fine Arts Society Gallery and The Phyllis Harriman Mason Gallery. Typically, open six or seven days a week, for all but one month of the year, the Phyllis Harriman Mason Gallery presents free exhibitions that are open to the public, and which historically have been seen by approximately thirty thousand guests annually. Because of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, most of our exhibitions since 2020 were made available for viewing virtually online, and only open to in-person visitors during times when doing so presented little risk to our community. Exhibitions may include works by artists outside The League who are relevant to students' studies, and/or work by League artists or from The League's permanent collection. The League's permanent collection consists of approximately two thousand works. A key focus of the gallery is to show Students' work in a series of annual Student Salons, typically on display each January through May. 133617 8486330 true true false false false false false true false true true false false false true true false true true false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false 101 0 257 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false true true true true true false false true true true true true true true true false NY X X X KAREN GAINES 2122474510 215 WEST 57TH STREET NEW YORK NY 10019 Michael Rips RESIGNED 6302020 Executive Director 40.0 0.0 X 154484 0 32220 Eric Raff Human Resource Officer 36.0 0.0 X 148859 0 2584 Karen Gaines Chief Financial Officer 34.0 0.1 X 148253 0 2599 Kenneth David Facilities Director 40.0 0.0 X 100823 0 0 Michael Hall Artistic / Executive Director 40.0 0.1 X 15066 0 1018 Beth Berns BOARD MEMBER 2.5 0.1 X 0 0 0 Charlotte Bialek Vice President 2.5 0.1 X X 0 0 0 Cathy Blake BOARD MEMBER 2.5 0.1 X 0 0 0 Marcie Bronkar BOARD MEMBER 2.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 Nelsena Burt-Spano resigned BOARD MEMBER 2.5 0.1 X 0 0 0 Charles Sincero Chenet BOARD MEMBER 2.5 0.1 X 0 0 0 Robin Frank PRESIDENT 2.5 0.5 X X 0 0 0 Jack Gordon BOARD MEMBER 2.5 0.1 X 0 0 0 Jack Howard-Potter BOARD MEMBER 2.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 Michael Jacobs resigned VICE PRESIDENT 2.5 0.1 X X 0 0 0 Stephen Rosenthal BOARD MEMBER 2.5 0.1 X 0 0 0 Jacquetta Szathmari BOARD MEMBER 2.5 0.1 X 0 0 0 Charles van Horne VICE PRESIDENT 2.5 0.1 X X 0 0 0 Brian Zukauskas BOARD MEMBER 2.5 0.1 X 0 0 0 567485 0 38421 4 false true false DavisGilbert LLP 1675 Broadway NEW YORK NY 10019 LEGAL 164456 AFGO MECHANICAL SERVICES INC 36-14 32nd St QUEENS NY 11106 REPAIRS 128950 BEAR CONSTRUCTION REPAIRS CORP 2300 Ocean Ave BROOKLYN NY 11229 REPAIRS 751772 Tech Alliance 420 Lexington Ave 3rd floor NEW YORK NY 10170 IT SUPPORT 197282 WithumSmithBrown PC 506 Carnegie Center 400 PRINCETON NJ 08540 ACCOUNTING 106319 5 1436400 1748406 3184806 TUITION INCOME 611610 3126400 3126400 DUES AND FEES 611610 230914 230914 STORE & CAFETERIA SALES, NET OF COST OF GOODS SOLD 611610 70526 70526 OTHER INCOME 611610 18524 18524 FACILITY RENTAL INCOME 611610 15845 15845 3462209 3891274 3891274 0 0 0 0 0 11848480 4500000 7348480 7348480 7348480 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 INSURANCE PROCEEDS (WATER DAMAGE) 611610 401487 401487 401487 18288256 3863696 11239754 0 6875 6875 0 0 435473 87095 304831 43547 0 5608015 5087951 376391 143673 85376 63184 17408 4784 378077 334990 33798 9289 511197 437739 57622 15836 0 161648 29028 132620 0 53525 0 53525 0 0 0 617316 617316 459229 449200 7867 2162 18303 18303 0 0 41828 20020 21424 384 195812 135781 27531 32500 0 334409 319636 13304 1469 7605 1460 6145 0 0 0 0 0 628874 603602 21630 3642 209030 157186 50742 1102 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE 310794 296504 12210 2080 MODELS 146659 146659 0 0 CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEES 108357 100837 3462 4058 LOSS ON DISPOSAL OF EQUIPMENT 96715 0 96715 0 269018 190280 65294 13444 10684135 8486330 1919835 277970 928909 482670 5253128 5777793 0 0 60536 95727 0 0 0 0 0 0 329844 300905 96865 91173 14328138 8132005 5138207 6196133 86493639 117397924 0 0 0 0 0 0 13378 16453 98314506 130358778 726242 622793 0 0 1863477 1379923 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1407150 1183000 476035 420827 4472904 3606543 X 61963157 83462797 31878445 43289438 93841602 126752235 98314506 130358778 7604121 25306512 X X false true X true false X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X X X false 11621770 4827615 4827615 11621770 12071770 220997 670997 11621770 12071770 120113 120113 12071770 12701830 922165 1552225 12071770 12701830 1362357 1362357 12701830 1.00000 false false 10813968 6287100 4526867 2321594 1589213 732381 1192577 255692 936885 6196133 0 LOCKER DEPOSITS 38398 TUITION CREDITS 382429 420827 X 42880737 25306512 25306512 17574225 617316 96715 714031 18288256 9973179 3075 3075 9970104 617316 96715 714031 10684135 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT IT HAS APPROPRIATE SUPPORT FOR ANY TAX POSITIONS TAKEN, AND AS SUCH, DOES NOT HAVE ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS.
