Flexible Access is a program focused on providing continuing education opportunities through pay-what-you-can visual art courses for ages 17 and up.
In 2022, ALH kicked off a multi-year initiative to re-imagine the role of an Art League School to foster radical imagination, reduce economic barriers to art education and impact positive social change through the arts. This program marks the start of a larger initiative to prioritize arts access and equity taking place at the ALH school.

Cartooning is a process, a language and an art form. This class will provide students with the means for creative self-discovery and the exploration of complex ideas through visual, sequential storytelling. Students will record their observations, experiences and memories in their sketchbook and then translate that material into pictographic narratives...some only one panel and some multiple pages. The class is essentially a writing and an art class rolled into one. The class focuses much more on story and process than drawing skills.
