The Summer Residency Program at The School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York is an internationally renowned program that offers artists, designers and creative thinkers time, space and a supportive community in which to develop ideas and focus on their artistic direction. Summer residents each have their own semi-private studio housed within SVA’s MFA Fine Arts department. Work in the studio is supported by individual studio visits from core faculty as well as from visiting artists, critics, and arts professionals.
Each year, The American Turkish Society offers a scholarship to a Turkish artist to attend SVA’s Summer Residency Program.
The programme has two tracks: painting and mixed media and a residency in contemporary practice.
Session 1 runs from 1 June to 2 July 2020 and session 2 from 7 July to 7 August 2020. The programme culminates in an open studio exhibition, which enables the participants to present their work to the public.
