Many renowned artists have studied and taught at the League, which is dedicated to sustaining the great tradition of training artists. Today, more than 2,500 students of all ages, backgrounds and skill levels, study at the League each month.

Video Description

Join us for a landmark conversation with NYU professor and author Mosette Broderick; North Shore historian and author, Paul J. Mateyunas; and Former U.S. Congressman and the great grandson of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, John LeBoutillier. The trio provides a glimpse into the Gilded Age and its influence on American art, architecture, and society. Take a look at the New York studios and town and country homes of some of the artists and patrons of the era — so many of which intersect with the history of the League — including Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney’s studio in Old Westbury, Long Island.
