Studio Arts College International (SACI) is more than an opportunity to study abroad in the birthplace of the Renaissance: it’s an experience you will carry with you, in your career and throughout your life. Our alumni have been nominated for Academy Awards, exhibited in the London National Portrait Gallery, and designed jewelry for major Hollywood productions—there is no limit to what you can achieve. Yet for many it’s the opportunities to embrace and adapt to new challenges, to collaborate with people from all different backgrounds and cultures in one of the most vital artistic centers of Europe, and fully engage with art and design in a transformative way that defines the SACI experience.
Accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD), SACI offers a wide range of innovative, hands-on graduate and undergraduate programs in traditional and contemporary studio arts, design, conservation, art history, and Italian language and culture.
You’ll work side-by-side with passionate, engaged faculty members who will help you challenge artistic boundaries and push yourself in new creative directions. You’ll learn even more beyond the classroom, exploring the studios, museums, and galleries of Italy and Europe, living and working in the heart of Florence, and being enriched through a close connection to the local community—a connection that for many of our alumni endures long after graduation.
