I don’t have any natural talents or abilities when it comes to anything remotely artistic or creative. Though I’ve participated in a few wine and paint classes, I find that I’m better at sipping the wine than the actual painting part. They are pretty fun though, and my “paintings” have turned out to be somewhat decent looking. Lucky for me, it doesn’t take too much skill for those classes because an instructor is literally walking you through every stroke and you have a template to base it off of. If they required you to come up with your own picture and design, that wouldn’t work out so well for me.
With New York City being one of the art capitals of the world, there’s more art and art-related things to count in this city, it’s almost impossible. From galleries and studios, to museums and institutes, art and artists are all over The Big Apple. Therefore, if you want to practice your skills or get into the industry, there’s no better place to start. From beginners to advanced artists there’s something for you in the city. Even better is that because of all the access to things art related, you can find something for just about any price point — and maybe even free if you’re lucky. If you don’t believe me, check out our list of 20 cheap art classes in NYC.
