Program Description
Join us for this intensive studio-based experience! Draw upon the wonders of Florentine history and immerse yourself in its rich contemporary culture. Open your eyes to the most cutting-edge art in the world with an important visit to the Venice Biennale. This two-week experience will infuse inspiration into your personal art practice, at whatever stage it may be. We will create a vibrant studio experience with enriching workshops, artistic feedback, and intensive critiques – all culminating in an open-house to show off your artistic production. Through prolific art practice you’ll build your portfolio and connect to a creative community. To spark content and gain context, you’ll visit historical sites and museums, with walking tours to capture the sights and textures of Florence through sketching and photography. Concentrated days to focus on self-directed artwork will be supported by the faculty and enjoyable engagement with your studio mates.
