Tisch Spring Future Artists Program

The Tisch Spring Future Artists Program is a pre-college program that is FREE of charge, open to all eligible students, and centered on educational opportunities in studying in the arts with the same rigor and training offered in the undergraduate departments. It is designed for students who may not have access to other programs in their schools and/or communities and who would qualify for financial aid at NYU. Please review the Spring Future Artists Application Requirements for details.

This program is open to all interested first-years, sophomores, and juniors in high school.  Various artistic techniques are introduced to develop each student's vision in their preferred discipline. Students MUST commit to attending all of the classes during the 14-week program on Saturdays, starting as early as 9 AM and ending as late as 6 PM (specific class times are determined by each department) from January 30, 2027 - May 8, 2027 and are taught by faculty from Tisch undergraduate departments. You must be available on those dates and times for the entire duration of the program. Students who miss class for any reason may be dismissed from the program.

The spring 2026 application is closed.
