Visual Arts Post-Baccalaureate

The Post-Baccalaureate is a unique and exciting program that assists artists to deepen their critical thinking and making skills, enrich their studio practice, and professionalize their portfolios. It is designed for students with a bachelors’ degree, or with considerable professional experience as a visual artist, who need time, space, and professional guidance to prepare for graduate school (MFA), or who simply want to improve their professional practices:

• apply for professional exhibitions
• create exhibition proposals
• write grant proposals
• participate in many other professional art related activities

Post-Baccalaureate students benefit from use of studio space, access to facilities, and professional artists at a pace that suits them.

The Post-Baccalaureate is open to anyone with an undergraduate degree in visual arts or another field and with significant visual arts training and/or experience.
