Transart Institute
As the Unschool Art School, Transart grew out of a desire to go beyond established institutional education where pre-formed and pre-formatted knowledge is passed on to all students in the same way. Transart works the other way around: a plethora of models and diverse input in a multi-perspective environment form a truly student-centered program.
Deadline
Applications will be accepted until November 1, 2012 for entering the program at the Transart Winter Residency in New York in December 2012.
