Ashcan Studio of Art | Art Univ & High School Portfolio Prep/Scholastic Art Competition Prep NYC, Fashion Design Classes NYC

"Brilliant place for students to learn, explore and draw the best of their talents. Our daughter's work improved significantly after she spent her summer at Ashcan. Many kudos to the teachers and instructors."

"I have attended to this studio since middle school, and programs here thought me a lot, they helped me form drawings, paintings, sculpting and even photoshop. it was a really nice experience to learn from this studio, and most of all, it helped me a lot for my college portfolio, which led me to go to my dream school.. it was a very nice experience and it was very lucky for me to meet the instructors here..."

"My daughter has tried a half-dozen art programs in New York City in the past 10 years and Ashcan is the best one by far. The other programs had large and impersonal classes and often spent more time taking students on field trips to museums than on teaching them art skills. While that was fine when my daughter was younger, she wanted more instruction and studio time as she got more serious about her art. Ashcan helped her to develop skills, experiment with mediums, and collaborate with teachers and other students. It has become her second home this past year while she has been working on her college portfolio. Mr. Kim and the instructors are great and they work closely with every student to ensure a highly personalized experience. My daughter has learned so much, it has been amazing to watch her progress. She has won gold keys in the Scholastic art contest and was just accepted early decision to NYU's art program. We highly recommend the Ashcan experience!"

"Coming from a non-art background I went to Ashcan to get help with my portfolio. It was great working around other people with the same goals and with teachers that are knowledgable and passionate, and it was really helpful to have Mr. Kim there for advice and to always keep me on track with deadlines. After studying there 6 days a week for 8 months I was able to get into all the schools I applied to with very generous scholarships, including an MFA program with a fellowship offer. I feel that Ashcan definitely broadened my horizons in art, and I am extremely grateful to everyone at Ashcan!"

"I studied in Ashcan for 8 months. Thanks to this school, I was able to improve my skills and knowledge a lot and make an amazing portfolio. The teachers are so professional and enthusiastic by giving their full attention to each students!! And the staffs are so nice and friendly. I’ve gotten into a school with a large amount of scholarship! Especially, director Kim, he contacted the school and helped me to get useful resources about application every time. I'm really grateful to Kim and teachers !!! I’ve studied in many other art schools, Ashcan is the best one ever. I strongly recommend this school!"
