"We don't teach people to make art. We teach them to see the world differently — and the art follows."
Priya Nair
Faculty Lead, Drawing
MFA, Yale School of Art. Solo exhibitions at the Museum of Arts and Design (NYC) and the Tate Modern Study Collection. Former resident, American Academy in Rome.
"The figure is not a subject — it is a mirror. I teach students to draw what they feel in their body, not what they see with their eyes. That is when the work becomes alive."
Figure Drawing
Intensive
Student work by Danielle Reyes, Spring 2025 cohort
Marcus Webb
Faculty Lead, Painting
BFA, Rhode Island School of Design. Represented by Cheim & Read Gallery, NYC. Work in the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago.
"Paint is the most honest material. You cannot lie in oil. Every hesitation, every decision you reversed — the canvas holds all of it. I teach students to stop hiding and start building."
Oil Painting
Intensive
Student work by James Okafor, Autumn 2025 cohort
Soo-Yeon Lim
Faculty Lead, Printmaking
MFA, Cranbrook Academy of Art. Prints exhibited at Art Basel Miami Beach and acquired by the Library of Congress Print Collection. Resident artist, Lower East Side Printshop.
"Printmaking is the discipline of controlled accident. The press decides half of every outcome. I teach students to plan with precision and surrender with grace — a skill that carries far beyond the studio."
Printmaking
Intensive
Student work by Fatima Al-Rashid, Winter 2025 cohort
Tobias Grundmann
Faculty Lead, Mixed Media
Diploma, Hochschule für Bildende Künste Hamburg. Work featured in Frieze Magazine, Art in America. Annual visiting artist, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture.
"Mixed media is not a style — it is a question. What does this work need to become itself? I teach students to stop asking what medium they should use and start asking what truth they are chasing."
Mixed Media
Intensive
Student work by Nguyen Thi Lan, Summer 2025 cohort
Organizations that
measure the difference.
"We sent 18 managers through Atelier's corporate creative intensive over two terms. Absenteeism dropped 31% in those cohorts. We track this. The studio environment did something that no leadership retreat has ever done — it reminded people that they are capable of making something beautiful."
Sarah Kowalski
VP, Learning & Development
Meridian Financial Group
"Our district piloted Atelier's enrichment track across four middle schools. Teachers reported measurable improvement in sustained attention and spatial reasoning within the first six weeks. The printmaking unit alone produced work that hung in city hall."
Dr. Amir Osei
Director of Arts Education
Chicago Public Schools, District 14
"We've been sourcing emerging talent from Atelier's advanced cohorts for three consecutive years. Seven artists we first met in their final term reviews have since had solo shows at the gallery. The pipeline is real, and it's curated."
Lena Johansson
Director
Vessel Gallery, Brooklyn
