Comments: I had a wonderful time, met some great students and was exposed to new ideas artistically. It was a valuable experience of being independent in a safe setting. I enjoyed the sculpture class and continue to do sculpture and painting in my leisure time.

Comments: Prior to attending the program I was considering career in criminal justice. Attending NYSSA helped me solidify my decision to be an artist. I'd probably be making more money in criminal justice  but I know I wouldn't have the level of satisfaction

Comments: Coming from an art-deprived town, NYSSSA gave me a broader perspective. One of the teachers said something I'll never forget: "After NYSSSA, you'll know if you want to pursue art." He was right -- I discovered I did want to be an artist -- it's who I am.
