PSAD’s Pre-College Summer Art Program for high school students is a two-week studio experience in our world-class studios at 919 Madison Street and 905 Harrison Street. All materials are included in the $185 tuition fee, with lunch available for purchase from the Kitchens Café located onsite. Students will take home finished works in each discipline. The program is limited to 18 students, with 9 students per class to maintain social distancing and studio seating capacities. Masks will be required. Morning and afternoon schedules may vary according to enrollment numbers, but morning and afternoon meeting times will remain the same regardless.

Students will take both classes each week, either in the morning or afternoon session. Students who register for the Pre-College Summer Art Program, and ultimately enroll in college classes at PSAD, will receive a WKCTC tuition scholarship during their first semester for one 3 credit hour art class for unmet financial need after all other aid is applied
