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.
