City Facts
New York is the undisputed centre of the art community in the United States, with easy access to the historical and cultural resources that represent the development of art in the US. Here, the fervor and excitement of the art world are a daily encounter: in cutting-edge galleries or in leading museums, in private collections or behind the scenes at Sotheby's.
New York is one of the liveliest and most vibrant cities in the world. It also reigns as a quintessential capital of entertainment and the arts, where it's a given that, "if you can't find it here, you can't find it anywhere." Whether it's an artistic affair, a culinary, musical or dance extravaganza, or a world-class sports spectacular, New York offers this and much more. Students will find much to enjoy and complement their course studies through New York's extensive range of cultural events and art museums and galleries.
