“The atmosphere and work ethic of the school is incredible. I learned so much just from looking at the work on the walls and talking to the artists in residence. Everyone is so willing to share information. I highly recommend GCA! -GCA summer workshop student

“My daughter was in the teen course this summer. I wanted to say thank you so much for all that GCA has done for her and thanks to all the wonderful instructors she had. She learned so much and is really trying to figure out how to continue to produce works to the level she was at this summer. She really had such an amazing time. I’ve never seen her so committed to advancing her skill.” -Parent of a teen

“There is absolutely no other school I have been to that even comes close to comparing to the high level of academic excellence. I have also found that every single teacher I have had @GCA has been incredibly kind, which is a big bonus.” -GCA summer workshop student

“I live in Queens so I am not sure what to recommend to visitors. The coffee shop around the corner from the school was excellent as were the tacos/sandwiches from the Mexican butcher up the block and the nearby Bushwick Tacos :)” -GCA summer workshop student
