When you invest in your talent, you can reinvigorate your passion for making art. This summer, replenish your creative energy. The journey to becoming a skilled and accomplished artist is lifelong. The work is intense. Skills need constant updating. But, an important part of the process is building into your schedule a time for renewal, for new experiences, and for a different perspective. Vacations for artists are not to get away from their work, but rather to find ways to inspire their work with new exuberance and energy. The School of Visual Arts knows what artists need to keep creating and inventing at their personal best: time to reflect and time to work seriously, just for the fun of it.

That’s why we continue our Summer Arts Abroad Program every year and why we offer such a broad curriculum. The work is challenging, but we’ve discovered that new experiences empower artists to grow and develop. Different cultures, beautiful environments and living art history inspire your personal work and make it worth your while to travel with us. Student artists aren’t the only people to take advantage our Arts Abroad programs—many artists out of school join us to see the world and polish their skills. College credits, however, are available for all who qualify.

Choose a studio course, like the interdisciplinary workshop in Berlin, immersing oneself in the culture and history of Berlin with side trips to Leipzig and Dresden. Or choose to paint in Barcelona, studying in the studios of Escola d’Arts Plastique I Disseny. Also in Barcelona, we offer Lighting for Portrait and Fashion Photography, teaching the anatomy of a fashion shoot and how to put together a fashion portfolio, shooting in studio and on location.
