The instructors are approachable and offer valuable insights to build a strong portfolio. Small classes ensure personalized attention—which I really loved. From traditional to contemporary art, including collages and figure drawings, they've got it all covered. A definite go-to for serious artists.

I decided to go to art college last minute, and only had 3-4 months to prepare. I took the portfolio prep class and created enough pieces to submit the maximum quantity to all my schools. After, I got in to my top choice! The teachers provide amazing guidance, helpful information, and are very nice. Highly recommend people to check this place out, and sign up.

I’ve been going Manhattan Art since my sophomore year of high school and let me say this, going through this program was 100% worth it. At the end of the day all the staff truly cares about you and your future as an artist. They really help you refine your skill and learn many new techniques. I got into all my schools (including all my reach schools) due to my portfolio that I made at Manhattan Art. All my love and support goes out to the staff the people who founded Manhattan Art.
