A pillar of arts education, the New York Academy of Art has supported generations of figurative artists, fostering lasting connections among students, faculty, visiting critics, and scholars.
With the support of Chubb, a world leader in insurance, the Academy presents its highest honor, the Chubb Fellowship, each year to three alumni who have displayed exceptional skill and talent. Looking back to the Academy’s beginnings, this exhibition brings together a group of these Chubb Fellows along with their peers and professors for a retrospective of the decades of artistic brilliance produced by this institution.
Over years of collecting, the Green family came to realize—independently and without intention—that many of the artists they were drawn to shared an affiliation with the New York Academy of Art. This pattern became even more striking when they discovered that several had been awarded the Academy’s prestigious Chubb Fellowship. This unexpected convergence revealed a clear throughline: the Academy’s rigorous studio training consistently produced artists whose work deeply resonated with the Foundation’s sensibilities. Chubb Fellows & Friends was conceived to give this alignment public expression.
