Studio Arts College International is pleased to announce that prospective students can now apply for our Low-Residency MFA in Studio Art Program starting this summer in Florence, Italy!
SACI’s Summer Low-Residency program offers those who have limited time to pursue graduate studies the opportunity to earn their MFA by completing 3 successive summers of intensive studies.
During these summers, students have a unique opportunity to develop their personal art practice and skills, inspired by the art treasures of Europe. Living and working in Florence, Italy, students pursue a curriculum that integrates practical and critical training, and encourages individual innovation, creative collaboration, mentorships, and instruction from SACI’s outstanding faculty.
Students work in dedicated studio space that fosters modulated, communal studio experiences. The studios are in one of SACI’s renovated 16th-century palazzi in the heart of Florence — the city that revolutionized visual culture during the Renaissance and continues to serve as an inspiration for generations of artists.

SACI also offers these 2-year graduate degree programs: MFA in Studio Art, MFA in Photography, and MFA in Communication Design; and a 1-year MA in Art History.
Completed applications should be received no later than March 15. Applications received after March 15 will be considered only if space is available.
SACI also offers numerous scholarship opportunities. Our scholarship deadline is also on March 15.
We hope to see you on campus.
