If you are interested in an art summer program, NYU is offering their High School Art Intensive program again this summer. It did not run for the last few years because the art building was undergoing renovations during the summer.
D attended the program 4 years ago and fell in love with NYU, NYC and the art opportunities offered there. She is currently a rising senior at NYU pursuing her BFA with a concentration in sculpture and will probably stay on at NYU for another year to receive her MA in Art Education. She sees herself as teaching and being a working artist.
The program is a 3 week residential program open to rising sophomores, juniors and seniors. It runs from July 26 to August 15. Students chose either a 2D or 3D concentration.
I really highly recommend the experience. Five students from the program went on to attend NYU along with D. for others it was a chance to explore an art program and experience the contemporary art scene in NYC. The students have supervised evening activities and all seemed to love the program.
