Master Artist Program
Application for Matriculation
The Master Artist Program (“program”) is a three-year art education program designed to take students of any incoming experience level to a professional practice. Students will be asked to participate in weekly class and homework exercises 40 weeks per year. Classes are 4.5 hours per week in-class study and 10 hours out-of-class study is necessary to achieve the program’s goals. Additional hours are always encouraged, but the program’s goals cannot be assured if the minimums stated above are not met.
The program teaches a combination of technical artistic learning, business strategies, and psychological self-examination. The content of classes may at times be challenging physically, mentally, and emotionally. All care will be given to create a positive environment for growth and nurturing.
A calendar of class dates and breaks for the entire 3 years will be listed prior to the program’s start date. During the length of the program, it is recommended that students coordinate their own travel schedules with this class schedule so as to miss as few weeks of the program as possible. Missing a class may require outside instruction at an additional fee. If the calendar needs to be changed for any reason, advanced notice will be given with anyone unable to adjust their travel given a free option for a makeup session.
The fee for Class of 2029 students is $18,000/yr. Tuition may increase no more than 3% year over year. Tuition is billed on a quarterly basis, due one month prior to the beginning of any quarter. A deposit of one quarter ($4500) is required to officially hold your spot. Early Decision students (those applying before June 1, 2025) are guaranteed acceptance to the program and may remit payment with this application. After June 1, students must be accepted by a jury of the faculty. Deposits will be collected after their acceptance, if they are accepted.
Prior artistic experience is not a pre-requisite to entry. Students do not need a portfolio to apply.
By signing this form you agree, if accepted into the program, to attend regular classes, participate in class activities, fulfill your homework requirements, and be financially accountable for the entire duration of the program. Only in cases of extreme illness or extreme financial hardship should a student withdraw from the program with supporting documentation provided as necessary. Student will not willingly enroll in the program with prior knowledge of said conditions.
