The Center: Topics in Painting: Studio Practice and Critique
Shahzia Sikander, Holly Hughes
Tuition $1,700
Code D1224-23
This three-year advanced mentorship program encourages each student to push their studio practice. Working at a rigorous pace, engaging in critical dialog with the group and with the instructors in individual critique, artists refine and expand their investigations. Wide-ranging topics include concept and approach to contemporary art practice as well as technical and material explorations. Students are expected to work independently with the support of their class peers and instructors, raising the ambition of their own studio goals. Although primarily a painting workshop, participation by installation artists and other artists working across media is encouraged. The goal of the series is for students to gain community, develop insight into their work and, through discussion, challenge themselves to reflect on their artistic intentions. This is the second year of a 3-year program. Please note that the cost of tuition, studio fee, and registration fee is per year. If you have an interest in joining this program, applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until March 1, 2023. Click here to apply.
