150 Stories: Lives of the Artists at the League is a groundbreaking anthology featuring 150 artists who have studied or taught at the renowned art school since its founding in 1875, illuminating the broader artistic legacy of those who have passed through its studios.
Unlike conventional institutional histories, 150 Stories is an artist-centered collection of essays by nearly 140 contributing scholars, critics, artists, and curators, that focuses on the often-overlooked period of early artistic formation, offering closely observed portraits of artists in development.
Supporters of the League's annual fund will receive a physical copy of 150 Stories as a thank you gift for donations of $250 or more. 150 Stories will be released on September 19, 2025 and copies are limited. Your gift must be picked up at the League.
