​The School of Making Thinking in partnership with Abrons Arts Center offers spring and fall classes designed to bring rigorous thinking and making into conversation with experimental pedagogy. This programmatic collaboration forges an expanding community among artists, researchers, and activists throughout New York City and beyond.

Our Spring 2025 Classes are open for registration. Classes will take place at Abrons Arts Center and will run as 2-hour sessions weekly for four weeks in April 2025.  All classes will gather on Wednesday, April 30th for a culminating share out.  Tuition is $250 + a non-refundable $25 registration fee.  We offer 50% off for low income participants and a sliding scale for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), trans, and/or disabled participants. Registration is through the Abrons Arts Center.
