BRIDGE PROGRAMS

NYAP has placed students in internships with professionals working in the performing, visual, and media arts since 1969.

New York City offers a variety of cultural perspectives.

“New York is a like a little global village. You travel around the world as you walk across each street. I am glad that I chose to stay in the States and enjoy foreign customs while not traveling too far. This experience will definitely inspire me and expand my global horizon.”

INTERNSHIPS: NYAP student with sponsor artist Alan Sonfist.

“I liked working at the architectural firm because of the fast pace, deadlines, and the fact that they were so busy that I had to figure out many things on my own.”

SEMINARS: Students attending Bob Holman’s seminar at the Bowery Poetry Club.

ADVISING: NYAP faculty provide professional perspectives to guide and support.

“Since my semester with the New York Arts Program, I’m a more confident student and a stronger artist. I realized that I have lots of time to try different things professionally.”

CREATIVE COMMUNITY: Students during an independent project session.

“The most interesting thing to me about working in the New York Arts Program is the dynamic of culture here among people in the art industry. The art world is a lot more about networking than I thought.” – Olivia Fu, NYAP alumnus

“NYAP was an amazing immersion into so many things—the greatest arts campus in the universe (New York City), where I would be at the Village Vanguard on night, The Met the next, a SoHo art gallery opening, an indie film workshop in the Village, and an opera staged in a disco.” – Mitch Clickman, NYAP alumni, Conductor/Composer at Symphonic Jazz Orchestra

URBAN LIVING EXPERIENCE: NYAP Students in Times Square, NYC.

NYAP students represent a wide range of interests, skills, and backgrounds.

NYAP students stroll the Brooklyn Bridge.

“The program provided independence and freedom with structure and support. Everything I’ve accomplished professionally can be traced back to the New York Arts Program.” – Terry R. Myers, NYAP ’86, AP of Painting & Drawing at SAIC

“New York City’s standing as the cultural capital of the world is one of our great strengths. Our cultural institutions and artists contribute to a creative spirit unmatched anywhere else…” – Mayor Mike Bloomberg
