Founded by Matt Ross in September of 2012 “one river” west of
New York City, One River School of Art and Design has embarked on a mission to change art education in America. In a short window of time, our innovative art school in Englewood, NJ has taught thousands of students and established “a new direction in art education.” One River School’s exhibition program is dedicated to presenting contemporary artwork from some of the most compelling emerging artists in the world. The gallery at One River Allendale has exhibited local emerging artists such as JJ Manford, Austin Eddy, Catherine Haggarty, Matt Phillips, Angela Heisch, and Michael Berryhill.
In keeping with our commitment to enhancing educational standards, 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Young Women’s Leadership Network in honor of their outstanding work with low-income minority youth. As per their website:
MISSION: Young Women’s Leadership Network helps low-income minority youth break the cycle of poverty through education. Our two critical programs provide college readiness and access to at-risk students from the 6th – 12th grades: CollegeBound Initiative, a school-based college guidance program for coed and single-sex public schools, and The Young Women’s Leadership Schools, a high-performing network of all-girls public schools. We are in the business of raising expectations, improving student performance, and inspiring leadership. Our first school, which made history and headlines, is the highly renowned and successful Young Women’s Leadership School of East Harlem in New York City.
