Studio Institute, LLC

In July of 2016, the Studio in a School Association, Inc. launched the Studio Institute, LLC. Informed by Studio's 40 years of experience bringing quality visual arts education to NYC public schools, the Studio Institute shares program designs, develops curriculum resources, implements system-wide professional development initiatives, implements teen and college student programs, conducts arts education research, and disseminates Studio's programs nationally.

Each summer the Studio Institute partners with cultural organizations in NYC, Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland, Providence and Memphis to provide paid, career-building internships. As part of our national expansion, Studio Institute has launched a series of professional development workshops and in-class mentoring for early childhood educators in Memphis, teaching them how to make visual arts a part of the early learning experience. Plans are underway for further expansion and replication projects.
