What will I learn?

The painting intensive’s long history at Syracuse University demonstrates a steady and deep commitment to the practice of painting, a discipline that is as relevant now as ever. Our mission is to provide the resources and support that you need to develop your practice and to broaden your understanding of what drives creative endeavors in our increasingly interconnected world. With our internationally known faculty and visiting artists, we offer you a wide perspective on the creative process and what it means to be a practicing artist. The dichotomies between traditional and contemporary art or figurative and non-representational painting have imploded, encouraging strong, self-motivated, individual work. The artists in our painting intensive represent the global possibilities of what painting can be, whether it embraces traditional, interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary approaches. The resources we offer include individual painting studios, grants for creative pursuits, teaching opportunities and M.F.A. exhibitions in New York City as well as on campus. Additionally, our program is greatly enhanced by being in the midst of an outstanding and diverse university environment.
