Scholarships in International Fine Art Program

Friends of Transart Institute announced today that through a generous grant from Foundation M and other sources scholarships have become available to students of the low-residency Master of Fine Arts program. For the academic year 2007/8, up to eight partial scholarships will go to students of merit and financial need. Furthermore, two 50% scholarships are available to accepted students in Transart Institute’s international MFA program from East Europe and new EU-member countries through Donau University Krems.

Transart Institute’s low-residency MFA program

offers an opportunity for working professionals to further their career in a highly individualized transdisciplinary format. The unique transdisciplinary program creates the possibility of interaction and cooperation between a multitude of genres. Four semesters of independent study, one-on-one with self-chosen faculty and mentors are interspersed with three intensive 2-week summer sessions which provide common ground in a tightly interwoven pattern of lectures, critiques, seminars and creative workshops.

The complete program for this year’s summer residency including seminars, workshops and public lectures is available at the institute’s website: http://www.transartinstitute.org/Pages/Summer_MFA.html
