“This program gave me the chance to be free, to experiment and not be afraid of trying new things or failing. Spending two weeks intensively working gives you that chance just to explore, especially when you’re surrounded by an atmosphere of creativity.”

“I loved meeting the visiting artists and seeing their techniques which gave me new ideas for my own work. Resident faculty was supportive but also challenged me to think broader and consider the meaning behind my work, helping me to identify my artistic values.”

“All supplies were provided which was very nice. My instructor was amazing and was there to help anytime when needed during class.”
