GREAT
LAKES COLLEGES ASSOCIATION NEW YORK PROGRAM
This program is
for serious students interested in the Performing, Visual, and Communication
Arts. The semester provides students a rare opportunity to serve in apprenticeships
and to gain experience in the world of the established professional artist and/or
arts institution. Participants spend a semester sharing the experiences of professional
writers, performers, artists, and media groups representing all fields of fine
and commercial art. Each student has a faculty advisor in New York who teaches
an Area Study course and works closely with both the student and the student's
apprenticeship sponsor. Professional artists conduct specially designed courses
dealing with current issues in the arts. Applicants should plan to visit New
York City for interviews to secure an apprenticeship. Students reside in the
program's five-story dormitory/office town house in Chelsea, a residential area
of Manhattan. Applications are due in October and March for the following semester.
Participants accepted: 50 per semester.
