Explore, Collaborate and Connect This Summer at Chautauqua School of Art
Study with us for seven weeks of bliss, critical discourse, studio time and a rare opportunity to experiment freely. Need-based scholarships are available.
Chautauqua School of Art is part of the Visual Arts program at the renowned Chautauqua Institution, located in a beautiful lakeside community in southwestern New York State. The school is an incubator of inclusive and expansive programming in the visual arts composed of classes, workshops and one-on-one time with mentors covering all media. The curriculum intentionally breaks apart the traditional methods that silo disciplines from each other and instead embraces a full range of studio and pragmatic studies including professional development for artists, the art of pedagogy, writing in the 21st century, and the relevance of art history today. Learn more about the VACI Experience.
The 2019 artists-in-residence program at VACI welcomes students and emerging artists who have yet to receive wide recognition of their work, including artists as young as juniors in college. Artists who engage in all media are encouraged to apply. This is an environment that promotes collaboration, exchange, and an openness to other art forms at Chautauqua, which include dance, theater, music and more.
The program has a diverse and multidisciplinary core faculty whose work with students is complemented by visiting artists who will hold technical workshops and give lectures through the summer. Core faculty host weekly one-on-one conversations with students and emerging artists and conduct classes of their specialties.
The deadline for applications for the 2019 School of Art Residency is March 1. All applications will be reviewed by the core faculty and those who are not accepted will receive feedback. Apply today!
