This summer, experience one of the most challenging and rewarding opportunities for young artists and designers.

With the move to a remote version of the Pre-College Art and Design Residency program, focus is on academic rigor and personal creative growth, and a college level curriculum (college credit is earned for each session).

Details of the move to remote learning are as followed: 

• MICA will provide a high quality teaching and learning experience
• All  sessions (5-week, 3-week & 2-week) studio courses meet Monday through Friday from 10:30 AM (EST) through 4:30 PM (EST) in a combination of live sessions, demonstrations and then independent studio time to help accommodate students in various time zones.
• In the evenings & weekends, students participate in creative workshops and experience the local Baltimore artist community.
• All classes will be held via Zoom
• All coursework, assignments, schedules, and details of the class will be on Canvas, our Learning Management System
• MICA will provide access to our admissions team and scholarship opportunities.
• MICA will provide valuable co and extra-curricular experiences that are educationally enriching and build community and connection among program students.

Choose the full five-week program, or three and two-week options to fit your summer schedule.  (Applications closed on May 15, 2020)
