Application Advice
Images: We recommend strongly that students submit individual image slides of works or installations, and not a PDF with multiple details, texts, and titles therein. This helps the committee efficiently and effectively review your portfolio. Please use the “Description” field in SlideRoom to add any information you feel is necessary for the understanding of your image.
Curation: We recommend choosing images that show a strong artistic voice, and deep engagement. For this reason, we discourage presenting works that are primarily technical demonstrations.
