Graduate School Application

Grad School: School of Visual Arts

Location: 209 East 23 Street, NY, NY 10010

My interest: This school has a history of great artists and a range of professors. I would like to try living in New York for a period of my life. After looking over the faculty, I was more excited about attending. I have no intention of going to graduate school immediately after undergraduate but I could see myself going to SVA. I like that many of the other students in the Photography, Digital Photography MFA programs make very conceptual artwork. I am more driven to create conceptually sound work and this school seems to encourage this type of work.
