Art Lab is a school of fine and applied art located in Staten Island, New York on the grounds of Snug Harbor Cultural Center. The school was founded in 1975 by a group of professional artists who wanted to give Staten Island a home where quality art instruction, exhibitions and events could take place. Today, Art Lab continues this tradition in providing exceptional art opportunities to Staten Island and the greater metropolitan community.
