Transart Institute
http://www.transartinstitute.org/About.html
Transart Institute is the only low-residency fine art program which is open to all media genres. and the program is a-disciplinary. Our students are generally working professionals with wider world experience than students from a serial undergraduate/graduate course of study. The low-residency approach, with intensive residencies, gives our students the opportunity for deeper academic experiences than within a traditional full residency context.
A significant opportunity which arises with the intensive residency format is the possibility of inviting practicing artists, media specialists and theorists who would not be able to commit to a full residency program because of their careers. Other unique qualities of the program are that it is entirely individual. Each student creates his/her own educational experience through independent study, one-on-one with self-chosen faculty and mentors. Finally, students work in their own studios in their own environment. Traditional programs often necessitate working in temporary on-site studio spaces.
