The Pack is an art school designed for the wild— for life beyond the institution, beyond the art object, beyond the art market, and beyond any preconceived notion of an art school.

Our focus is process—becoming, transforming, and evolving— rather than fixed points of view. Members of The Pack develop lasting creative habits through individual experimentation, intuitive goal setting, practice, and communal accountability.

• Creative beings who’ve lost their practice to the demands of a busy life
• Art School graduates seeking rehabilitation from the onslaught of others’ opinions
• Seekers who wish to explore personal and interpersonal connections through drawing
• Professional artists with post-show ennui and an empty studio
• Those who wouldn’t consider themselves artists but wish to develop a creative practice
• Artists seeking community for added perspective on their process
• Folks in search of creative momentum
• Anyone out of touch with the creative forces that drive them
• Everyone fatigued by institutions (all kinds)

Sarah Grass is an artist and educator based in New York, NY. The Pack is a blend of her studio practice and teaching philosophy. She uses drawing as a processing tool for self actualization and teaches based on habit formation and the power of collective growth. Sarah designed The Pack to be a social club for introverted processes. The primary concern is discovering what drives us, rather than how and where we fit in. The Pack is a wilderness for conception and creation, for artists' inquiry rather than artists' statements.
