05 / Community

At NYCAMS, your community breathes art, life, and faith. Located in the Chelsea district of New York, NYCAMS invites you into a neighborhood that's friendly and active.

The NYCAMS loft, situated on the 7th floor of a 16-story building, provides you with security of a doorman and 24 hour access to your creative space. The loft houses a common classroom, gallery, darkroom, digital lab, and kitchen. You'll also have your own open studio workspace where you'll have the freedom to create in ways that suit your style.

Immerse yourself in a thriving community where art is sold, created, talked about, and critiqued. Within blocks you'll find nearly 300 commercial art galleries, signaling you're in the heart of art creation and conversation.

When you're not at the NYCAMS loft, you'll be out working directly with a local artist, putting you in the center of New York's inner art culture and opening the doors to life-changing conversation.

Beyond the studio and the classroom, you'll be encouraged to become engaged in a local church community. NYCAMS brings together art students from Christian universities around the nation not only to strengthen your skills as an artist, but to help you explore what it means to be a follower of Christ in the art community.
