A new New York would rise from the literal ashes of Manhattan’s East Village as the 1970s came to a close, but first would come an extraordinary outpouring of creativity that marked the end of an era, and a lifestyle. “The Last Days of Bohemia” examines the art and personalities of that bleak but brilliant time through the lens of current events, politics, and changing social mores.

Watercolor Painting (Beginner/Intermediate)
This watercolor class was a revelation—beautifully structured, thoughtfully paced, and led by an inspiring instructor, Allison, who made even the most complex techniques feel within reach. As someone who had never touched watercolor before, I left my first year not only confident but with a piece accepted into an art show—proof of just how transformative and empowering this class truly is. -

Twisted Wire Jewelry
This class involves one project, a lovely twisted wire ring, although if you're quicker or more skilled (I'm just kind of intermediate), you may have time for an extra piece. It was challenging, but I learned a lot and was pretty proud of what I accomplished. It will be even more exciting when the new jewelery labs at 92nd Street Y open with new equipment! -
