MATERIALS: COVID -19 Update:  This year, Materials for the Arts faced an unusual challenge of turning our in-person class into an online class. In order to keep supply materials and class costs as low as possible, each participant can schedule a socially distant Curbside Pickup Appointment at our Warehouse to pick up a pre-packed box of free materials for your class. In addition, each participant will need to  independently purchase or borrow materials listed on your course Supply List.

• Monday or Wednesday afternoons at 2:00pm. Email jkaiser@mfta.nyc.gov to RSVP for a pickup supply day. If you are unable to pick up materials on these days, our team will work with you to accommodate.
