These new funds allow the college to provide each incoming student with a significant scholarship package applied to all four semesters.

Founded in 1991 as the first low-residency program in visual art in the country, the [MFA](http://engine.nectarads.com/r?e=eyJhdiI6MTAxNTQ0LCJhdCI6MjAsImJ0IjowLCJjbSI6MzE3MTc2LCJjaCI6MTkzMCwiY2siOnt9LCJjciI6MTE4MjQwOSwiZG0iOjQsImZjIjoxMjUwODMyLCJmbCI6ODQ5MjU4LCJpcCI6IjU0LjIwNC4xMjkuMTQiLCJudyI6MjA3LCJwYyI6MCwiZWMiOjAsInByIjoxNjY2LCJydCI6MSwic3QiOjAsImJmIjp0cnVlLCJwbiI6ImF6a3ByZXZpZXciLCJ1ciI6Imh0dHA6Ly92Y2ZhLmVkdS92aXN1YWwtYXJ0IiwicmUiOjF9&s=xBv-zR7vzX-hb1fh9d7TeMm6o7o&ref=hyperallergic.com) in Visual Art program at VCFA is based on the principle of individualized learning, with both on-campus and off-campus experiences. Each semester begins with an intensive 10-day residency in Vermont comprised of student exhibitions, individual and group critiques, faculty and guest lectures, workshops, and a thematic symposium.

Off-campus, students continue their studies by completing a series of interdisciplinary visual culture research and writing projects with guidance from a faculty member. Students pursue their studio work with formalized mentorship by a local artist selected in collaboration with the program.

Students in VCFA’s MFA in Visual Art program have the opportunity to connect with a roster of faculty members, artist-teachers, artists-in-residence, guest artists, an expansive student body, and a wide network of more than 1,000 alumni located across the country and internationally.

VCFA’s expertise supports all studio practices — from painting, photography and new media, to performance, community arts, and social practice.
