Call for applications
The Ernest G. Welch School of Art & Design at Georgia State University features an internationally active faculty and a rigorous curriculum that prepares students for professional careers in art and design. The programs foster critical thinking and dynamic artistic production within an interdisciplinary environment. The Welch School offers an MA in Art History, a MAEd in Art Education and an MFA in Studio Art with concentrations in Ceramics, Drawing and Painting, Graphic Design, Interior Design, Photography, Printmaking, Sculpture and Textiles. The MFA degree is NASAD accredited. All MFA accepted students receive full tuition waivers and monthly stipends as part of teaching assistantships. Numerous MA/MAEd research assistantships are granted with equal benefits. MFA candidates are eligible for competitive fellowships including the premium Welch Fellowships. The fellowships fund students for the entire three years of study, in addition to their regular stipend and full tuition waiver. Third-year studio graduates will be exposed to signature events such as international art fairs. This is the fourth consecutive year that Welch School MFA candidates are featured at Aqua Art Miami. The presentation is accompanied by an exhibition catalog authored by the Art History graduates and established curators/writers. This real world experience results in networking, exhibition opportunities, gallery representation and the sale of their artwork. Georgia State University is located in downtown Atlanta. This urban campus provides access to prestigious art institutions such as the High Museum and the Atlanta Contemporary Arts Center, and a growing network of commercial galleries, alternative spaces and grassroots artist organizations. The application deadline is January 15, 2015.
