The New York Studio Program is sponsored by the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design of which the School of the Art Institute of Chicago is a member. This program provides an opportunity for upper level students to spend one semester in New York City. The New York Studio Program provides private studio space with 24-hour access.
Participants meet with faculty members every week to review their work.
There is also an extensive Visiting Artists program, gallery visits, weekly Contemporary Art in New York seminar and an end of the semester exhibition that is widely attended. This is an excellent step for students wishing to make contacts in New York and who wish to spend a concentrated period of time working in their own studio. Students wishing to attend the New York Studio Program must apply through Off-Campus Programs the semester before they wish to go.
