Over the summer, with the excitement of returning to campus at the top of our minds, SVA launched a new Instagram series, “#SVAIRL (#SVAinRealLife).”

Taking a Humans of New York-style approach, each post focuses on one student, amplifying their unique voice and highlighting their impressive artwork. Scroll down to see the first six “#SVAIRL” posts, all spotlighting first-year students, and follow @svanyc on Instagram to keep up with the series and learn more about our talented students.
