About Art New England
For more than twenty years, Art New England has offered unique, in-depth workshops in a variety of art forms and disciplines in an inspirational setting. For those who choose to come, Art New England is designed to refresh and expand personal artistic practice. Away from day-to-day demands, the classes, instructors, scenery, food, access to studios and program staff are all there to allow you to focus on one thing: your art work.
Located at Bennington College, long-known as a center for artistic innovation and excellence, Art New England is built on the understanding that time and focus for creative work are extraordinarily precious commodities in this day and age. Therefore, we strive to ensure that each and every class offers an intensive, specialized focus. Our instructors are chosen both for the excellence of their work as well as their ability to work with students, and the day is structured to allow people to work as intensively as they choose.
This year we are delighted to welcome back many faculty who have helped make Art New England one of the best summer residency programs in the country over its more than twenty year history. And we are also delighted to welcome new faculty who bring new classes and will continue to build our reputation. Stay for one week, or two or three.
Take more than one class, or a class and extend your residency just to work. There are also classes which extend for two weeks, for those interested in longer classes or earning credit for professional development. As we did last year, we will allow you to lock into last year’s housing rates if you enroll by March 3, 2008 . We are also pleased to announce a new discount for MassArt alumni.
