Visit our website to let us know you’re interested in attending either event.
The Low-Residency Master of Fine Arts (Low-Res MFA) program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago is designed for the 21st century artist whose work and life demand both a rigorous engagement with an artistic community as well as flexibility, fluidity, and a self-directed approach. SAIC’s Low-Res MFA program is open to artists, writers, educators, curators, and historians.
Supported by faculty based at SAIC and a roster of renowned visiting artists, students spend spring and fall semesters taking classes online and working remotely from a home studio, paired with a local SAIC program mentor. Three consecutive summer residencies at SAIC bring students together to create, construct, and critique work during six-week intensives structured through both studio- and classroom-based courses and symposia. Studio work builds toward a major thesis project with both exhibited and written components. For more information about the program, visit www.saic.edu/lowres.
