Summer Study - Visual Arts
There are numerous programs offering summer study in visual art, often with different components.
Programs can vary drastically in residential offerings, cost, financial aid, college credit offerings, application requirements and/or enrollment deadlines. Do your due diligence research before applying (if required) and confirming enrollment.
This page is divided them into two groups:
1. college/school/museum-based summer programs & 2. state sponsored summer programs.
Cost and residency requirements are two main differences between the two. However, countless additional arts programs exist at community education programs around the country through art centers, museums, community colleges, artist studios and the like that are not listed. Check your local community for such art courses.
