“across genres meaning i want to still work with painting, photography, performance/installation. in all honesty, i’m really not interested in making money. i guess i should say i want a school that can give me what i need after the four or six years of schooling to make it more or less on my own as a career artist.”

<p>“SAIC is distinct in the way that it provides graduate, post-baccalaureate, and undergraduate students a multidisciplinary curriculum and the necessary freedom to develop as artists, designers, and scholars. At the same time, we strive for a level of rigor, investigation, and cultural relevance that makes SAIC truly special. Our students translate the most complex ideas into tangible formspaintings, sculptures, films, performances, books, installations, inventions, buildings, community projects, and, more often than not, a combination of the above. Few schools in the U.S. provide such a broad range of possibilities.”</p>
