“I think that an unfinished drawing is beautiful. It is like paradise, floating around in your imagination. It is there: the unfinished part is the mystery, the dark, what we don’t know about is in there.”

Welcome

In 1968, college students created Cooper Union’s Saturday Program.  Since then, more than 8,000 young people have participated and gone on to higher education – with many alumni entering Arts careers.

Each year over 200 N.Y.C. public high school students enroll in Saturday Program for classes in: Drawing, Graphic Design, Painting, Sculpture, Sound Composition, Architecture and Portfolio Preparation.

Courses run Saturdays, 10am-5pm for 2 semesters, October through April and are held at the Cooper Union College.

All classes combine ‘hands on’ studio work (with free classroom supplies included) also creative writing workshops and field trips to cultural sites.
