The New York Academy of Art offers a month-long intensive Summer Residency Program

in New York City for ambitious undergraduates and recent graduates. Students admitted

to the program have the opportunity to take Academy classes, use an Academy studio and

exhibit their work at the Academy at the end of the Residency. An extensive itinerary of

gallery openings, museum visits and private tours of artist studios complete the immersion in

New York’s art world.

All students in the Summer Residency take five required courses:

• Drawing: Exploration of the Human Form

• Contemporary Art History in New York

• Art & Culture: Artist Studios, Galleries, Museums

• Dialogues in Painting: Traditional Materials

• Sculpting the Figure: Perceptual Modeling

The Summer Residency is ideal for students interested in pursuing an MFA after their

undergraduate degrees as well as students who wish to experience a unique opportunity

in an inspiring creative environment.

ADMISSIONS & ELIGIBILITYAcceptance to the Summer Residency is competitive and based on portfolio review.

The program is open to current US and international undergraduates, either enrolled in

an art program or with a demonstrated talent in fine art. Applicants must declare their

preferred session of attendance on their application form.
