The classes cover basic printmaking techniques such as intaglio, relief, screenprint and lithography as well as specialized, advanced, creative, and innovative approaches. Manhattan Graphics offers classes throughout the year in terms of fall, spring, and summer. The core classes, which are classes that provide extended, advanced instruction in the basic techniques are offered in the fall, spring, and summer terms. The core classes also include shorter workshops that build on these skills. Shorter classes which are more exploratory and reach a wider audience are offered in the summer.

It allows artists to use printmaking studio in a self-directed manner to produce artwork. Prior to fiscal year 2025, some artists were charged on an hourly basis while others were charged based on bundled hours along with class enrollment (the charges were included in tuition). A few of the artists such as volunteer keyholders and scholarship artists (now known as Fellowship Artists) received complimentary open workshop hours.

At the end of the year ended June 30, 2024, Manhattan Graphics Centers moved to a new studio which was under construction for most of fiscal year 2025. As a result of the construction, much of the in-person programming was paused and the opportunity was used by the board to configure new offerings in preparation for reopening. During FY25 16 artists used the open workshop. In fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, 417 artists used the open workshop. 7834 Outreach:Outreach consists of several programs (Exhibitions, Artist Talks, Fellowships and Visiting Printmaker Workshop) that reach audiences beyond the studio walls of Manhattan Graphics.
