Committed to diversity and accessibility, ART School is open to any artist currently engaged in or returning to their art practice. Our adaptable, multi-format curriculum is also accessible to artists who are hearing impaired, and is available within the guided session format as well as in the self directed, independent study format. Any artist interested in growing their professional practice alongside their studio practice is encouraged to enroll.
With a focus on applicable, concrete skills development, Starry Night ART School is designed to deepen an understanding of the best professional practices for artists of all disciplines, with a focus on building a foundation of professional confidence in the emerging contemporary artist.
The program includes a dynamic curriculum of in depth training videos, printed guides and templates; twice weekly online office hours to engage students, address questions and discuss various perspectives on the material; as well as recommended readings on best professional practices across disciplines.
The program facilitates artists’ professional development through over 30 video trainings, more than 60 templates and guides, and countless interviews with guest artists, critics, curators, arts advocates, and alumni. Access to the materials is available immediately upon enrollment, and the guided Fall session will be held from September 7th through October 30th, 2015. Access to course materials will continue to be available to all participants on an unlimited basis for all future iterations of the program, and can be revisited at any time.
Starry Night Artist Resources & Tools is open to local and international emerging artists from a variety of fine arts backgrounds. The program is flexible and adaptive to the needs of artists, with weekly virtual meetings wherein questions can be addressed, although students can submit to the cue their questions at any time. The curriculum is compatible with full-time work and study schedules.
Enrollment is currently open through August 31st, 2015.
