Since 1876, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, has been educating artists by providing them with the respect and freedom they need to develop.

Join a diverse group of young artists who are devoted to the evolution of their artwork. The SMFA's five-week Pre-College Summer Studio is a unique and rigorous program focused on making art, sharing art, and living art. Students who have completed their sophomore year of high school are welcome to apply.

Take your art to the next level at Pre-College Summer Studio, where you are immersed in an interdisciplinary approach to artmaking. You will explore painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, installation, video, digital photography, sound art and performance. These core courses will allow you to build a solid foundation in each area so that you are well-equipped to develop your own vision. Conceptual thinking, experimentation, collaboration, critique, discussion, and community engagement are values that are encouraged throughout each discipline.
