Summer 2011 SA Wyoming Field Study Opportunity

Through the University Honors College, Studio Arts will once again offer this three-credit sixteen-day intensive in Wyoming. Professor Jenkins will accept proposals to participate in the Summer 2011 Field Study through January 28, 2011 (email: djenkins@pitt.edu). Proposals should address interest in the intensive and anticipate plans for a directed-study like experience (what you hope to accomplish in the media you plan to work in, scale/size of works, number of works, etc.). This opportunity is limited to four students (preferably upper level students); students who have recently graduated may also apply.

For more information, please contact the Studio Arts Department: studio@pitt.edu.
