What People Are Saying About Art Students League of Denver
Featured Review

In Short – The Arts Student League owns and is located in historic Sherman School, which captures the ambiance and accouterments of Denver's early lifestyle. The facility is a prime example of urban recycling at its best. The league presents exhibitions by instructors, many of whom are widely known and respected artists, and their students. Exhibits--paintings, drawings, sculptures and carvings--change monthly.

Membership alone is a Great Value -- Classes are the icing on the cake!

I have just taken my first class at the Art Student's League of Denver and am very pleased with my experience. The instructors are all respected artists, as are many of the students, so you get as much direction as you request, depending on the instructor.
The membership alone is valuable -- Gets you newsletters and invitations to all sorts of events sponsored by or connected with the League. It's a great way to delve deeper into the art community of Denver.
- Pros: Qualified artists as instructors + friendly, helpful staff and classmates
- Cons: parking can be limited -- Get there early!

Fun but with sub par instruction
by loulerbell at Citysearch
I took one of their drawing courses and although it was a new, interesting thing to do with my week, I was dissapointed with the instructor. I felt like there was little to no direction from her and that it was more like a three hour time to just fool around. Maybe others would benefit from this highly unstructured teaching style, but it just wasn't for me. Awesome space though...the exhibits are usually interesting. They also have a library of videos and books on art that can be loaned for very little money.
- Pros: Meet interesting people, exhibits
- Cons: instruction
