ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Blossom Art Intensives
ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Blossom Art Intensives (KBAI) are a series of two-week studio art intensives conducted each summer since 1968 at ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ.
Similar to an artist residency, participants create a self-directed body of artwork under the guidance of resident School of Art faculty and talented visual artists from around the country. These studio intensives offer in-depth discussions, professional mentorships and unforgettable experiences to all that participate.
Each intensive is specific to one medium and this year we are offering courses in ceramics, sculpture & expanded media, painting, and print media. Participants will work in the studio seven days a week with access to studio space, labs, equipment and tools at the Center for the Visual Arts at ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ.
