Apprenticeship Program for High School and College Students

Based on the concept of the Master/Apprentice relationship that has characterized training in the arts for many centuries, young people are invited to apply for the program by providing the general application form accompanied by a 1-page personal statement detailing:

• the medium in which the apprenticeship is requested
• how they anticipate this experience to be beneficial to them
• what they can contribute to the Sugar Maples community

This statement should be accompanied by:

• two letters of reference
• a résumé
• up to 10 slides or digital prints of recent artwork.

Those awarded will have the opportunity to study one-on-one with faculty members. Students will be allowed to participate in classes offered by their mentors during the Summer 2008 Season free of charge, and will have the opportunity to receive feedback and instruction outside of class, in exchange for twelve hours per week of help with department responsibilities, studio upkeep and classroom assistance. Preference will be given to students living within a 65-mile radius of Sugar Maples. Transportation and housing will be the responsibility of the student. Due by May 3, 2013.
