ASHCAN SUMMER PROGRAM 2018
Portfolio Preparation
The portfolio is THE MOST critical component to a College or Graduate School application. Developing a unique and coherent body of work is of paramount importance and essential to the pursuit of higher studies.
Fine Arts & Design Program
The intensive VA course stimulates creative and critical thinking through the practice of experimentation in the studio. Process, open- dialogue, and familiarization with materials are all promoted and focused upon.
Young Artist Program
The program was developed to catapult and stimulate creativity through teaching young artists the historical and contemporary art techniques of sculpture, painting, drawing, and more. We encourage artistic expression and experimentation in order to develop skills, confidence, and openness to new creative ideas and cultures.
Summer students enjoy Ashcan Studio’s Portfolio Day! The top schools from all over the world, such as SVA, SMFA, Arts University Bournemouth, RISD and many more, visit Ashcan for school presentations and personal student Portfolio Reviews.
Exhibition
Ashcan Summer students are given the opportunity to include work in our annual Ashcan Student Exhibition at the CUE Art Foundation gallery located in NYC.
