About Art Students League of Denver

Art Students League of Denver (ASLD) is a 501(c)(3) arts education and community center based in Denver, Colorado, housed in the historic Sherman School. ASLD offers year-round studio classes, workshops, visiting-artist masterclasses, exhibitions, residencies, and travel programs for youth and adults taught by regional and national working artists.

ASLD runs extensive youth and teen programming (including summer camps and Teen Studio Night), scholarship programs to increase access, and community engagement partnerships (schools, shelters, correctional programs, and veterans’ services). The organization reports large scale educational reach and ongoing support from public and private funders to sustain programming and facility operations.
