Art Education (Online and Summer Low-Residency MA)

The program is structured to allow students grow as artists, teachers, reflective practitioners, and leaders in the field. Two six-week summer residencies, online course work during fall and spring semesters, and winter seminars on MICA’s campus comprise the online and summer low-residency program’s schedule.

  1. Community Arts Convening and Research Project: Call for Proposals

    Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) seeks applications for three to four writing group fellowships to participate in the 2010-2011 Community Arts Convening and Research Project. The Convening and Research Project is funded by the Nathan Cummings Foundation and sponsored by MICA. It is guided by the vision that community-grounded arts and culture enhance the well-being, development, empowerment, and voice of disenfranchised communities. The Project provides a platform for college and university faculty and students; community-based practitioners; and community scholars, leaders, and youth to meet and generate new ideas; share resources and models for best practices in the field; reflect new curricula and pedagogy; define and solve problems; develop action plans; identify and conduct new research; develop leadership in the field, and cultivate new partnerships.
