Art Trips to New York

From the amazing art galleries of the Guggenheim and Museum of Modern Art, to the incredibly scenic views from the Top of the Rock and Empire State Building; New York is the ideal destination for any Art student. The Big Apple is surrounded by Art everywhere you turn, with around 1500 art galleries and more and more exhibitions appearing, you will never be short of artistic brilliance to explore.


Not just that, but the city covers all forms of Art; there is the International Centre of Photography for the photography students, Museum of Fine Art for those with a lighter hand, and numerous TV and film studios for those wanting to discover moving images and this element of the curriculum.
