Program Studiów Licencjackich za Granicą

The Siena Art Institute’s Undergraduate Program is designed for students who are focusing on their artistic development, and are looking for a new setting to pursue their art in a study-abroad experience. The program welcomes artists from all disciplines (painting, photography, drawing, video, ceramics, silversmithing, creative writing and more) who are interested in the intersection of art and civic life, and who wish to explore how our artistic projects can lead to a deeper understanding of the cultures in which we find ourselves. Our undergraduate students are able to spend one or two semesters at the Siena Art Institute honing their skills, exploring their artistic interests, and developing their artistic portfolios.

Our program is intentionally small, allowing students to receive a great deal of individual attention from our faculty to assist in their ongoing portfolio development. Our small classes allow close collaboration between students and faculty. The Siena Art Institute works in close contact with our partner programs such as the Siena School for Liberal Arts, Mason Perkins Deafness Fund, and diverse summer symposia, granting our students unparalleled access to a variety of cultural resources and activities.

We encourage our program participants to grow and learn during their time here through a wide range of exciting and innovative courses, as well as community-based art projects, internship opportunities, and cultural experiences.

The Siena Art Institute Onlus is a small non-profit arts organization based in the heart of Siena, Italy, one of the oldest and most beautiful university towns in Italy. We welcome artists from all disciplines who are interested in the intersection of art and civic life, and who wish to explore how the theoretical content of our individual practices can be translated into socially meaningful projects that produce a deeper understanding of the cultures in which we find ourselves.

We organize Project Fellowships, and residencies for professional artists and writers through our Visiting Artist Program (see Summer Residencies, Studio / Casa Residencies, Studio Residencies for more information). We organize public arts programming such as conferences and workshops together with collaborative partners, for local and international audiences, including our City Arts Programs and our ongoing series of presentations " StARTers: assaggi d'Arte ." We offer a unique study program for international Undergraduate and Post-Baccalaureate art & writing students, as well as Intensive Summer & Winter Courses.
