Since it was founded in 1875 by a group of artists, The Art Students League has nurtured creativity and provided the space and opportunity for innovation to thrive. Over the years, the teachers, lecturers, and students of the League have shaped and propelled some of America’s most important artistic breakthroughs and movements. Their vision and work have affected the course of art history, and influenced artists and creative producers across the world. With its Armory Show presentation, Hollis Taggart honors that legacy and its ongoing impact on contemporary art practice.
