The Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Fine Arts program offers an intensive fine arts studio experience that allows students to achieve a new level of mastery in art making. Post-Bac students pursue independent work, developing a disciplined studio practice that will carry forward into graduate study or work as artists outside of an academic environment.The core of the program is the Post-Baccalaureate Critique and Seminar. Students meet weekly with the program's director and a resident artist for individual or group critiques to develop a personal direction in their work. Post-Bac Critique also includes lectures on topics related to art. Seminar topics include discussion of professional topics such as writing and speaking about one's own work, preparing an artist's resume, applying to graduate school, taking slides, applying for grants and residencies, exhibition opportunities, legal and tax issues, and choosing a studio. The remainder of the curriculum is tailored, through counseling with the program director, to meet the specific needs of each individual student.
