By establishing a bequest, you will be recognized as a member of our 1875 Society, and enjoy special privileges such as invitations to VIP events and recognition on the League’s website.
Historically, bequests have been a vital source of support for the League and have played a significant role in allowing the school to thrive for more than 150 years. New bequests help ensure that the League will continue to serve artists through the 21st century and beyond. Your bequest can be used to endow a named scholarship fund or an instructor or other staff position, or to support a particular artistic program area such as drawing, painting, sculpting, or mixed media. Bequests can also be arranged to direct funds to where they are most needed, ensuring that your generous support is used to effectively serve future generations of artists.
There are multiple ways to support us through planned giving, including listing the Art Students League as the beneficiary of your life insurance policy, retirement plan, pension, or other assets. In preparation for any planned gifts, supporters should speak to their attorney or accountant to find out what options and tax advantages will work best for their financial planning.
The Art Students League has partnered with FreeWill to offer a free estate planning tool to our community.
