There are wonderful aspects to 92NY. The performances and talks offered over the years have been outstanding. There's a BUT, however. I've been taking various classes there for over 27 years. The cost of popular classes far exceeds the rate of inflation. Furthermore, innovations are stagnant and improvements are inadequate.
April 2026
Mostly feel disappointed by my experience taking an online drawing class at the 92NY. Though its reputation is that of a world class institution, the operations here in reality don't quite meet that bar.
The good: They have classes
The not so good: Class / holiday schedules are not clearly communicated on their website, with conflicting information presented in different locations. What I thought was going to be three classes in my package turned out to be two, with no communication from either the 92NY nor my instructor (who consistently left me out of class communications).
The gymnastics is great with the teachers. HOWEVER was racially profiled walking to the locker room (9 pm today) and was stopped and told to tell them where I’m going while I had to go to the locker room and was wearing wrist band and others after me were let through without a second look. The custodian and front desk showed their prejudice. Then was followed by custodian to said locker room.
