I lined up a residency at the Vermont Studio Center for this June! A friend of mine that recently finished his MFA did a residency there, and since then has gotten accepted to several other programs. So, a good way to get your foot in the door! 

Where are you thinking of applying?

 

That's where I applied! Hoping to hear back in February if I got a Fellowship or not! I also applied to Art Farm and Wassaic Project! Maybe I'll see you in Vermont!

Is anyone going to try and apply to a residency during the summer before school (hopefully ?) starts?!

Did anyone end up applying to Carnegie Mellon?

Fellow sculptor here. ? I would be wary of any editing that isn't just your basic lighting or spot correction. I think you'd be better off actually rephotographing the work in front of a different color background (if possible) rather than doing it digitally. Regardless, I'd stick with a neutral color, unless your work is meant to be part of a larger installation where you would make the walls a less traditional color when displaying them in real life.

Thanks for the advice! I'll probably end up keeping them all neutral, even though changing it up is so tempting D: (Btw I just looked at your website and I love your work!)

Question

Do you think it's okay to play around with background colors when editing photographs of sculptures? I feel like some of my pieces look better on a background that isn't white, but I don't want the photos to come off as too edited if I choose a different color.

Hi all,

I am applying to Ohio schools. Ohio State University, Ohio University, University of Cincinnati, and Miami. I'm so nervous already. Does anyone have any info about acceptance rates for these schools? I'm not sure what my chances are of getting in. I think I'm going to be a nervous wreck until I find out if I got accepted or not. I want this so bad!

I was able to find out quite a bit about acceptance rates on this website: https://www.petersons.com

For most of the schools that I am applying to it listed the amount of people that apply to the specific program, and how many get accepted. So it's not just the overall acceptance rate of the school. Hope this helps!

Does anyone know if you are applying to an interdisciplinary program if you they would prefer you to include images from different concentrations even if you tend to focus on just one?

Hi Everyone, 

I'm working towards applying this year, still looking into different programs. I'm wondering where you all are seeking feedback on your portfolios. I finished undergrad last June but relocated to New York City after graduation. I am planning on attending Graduate Portfolio Review day but was interested in hearing any advice you all may have.

Hi Everyone! 

I am starting to get super stressed out about applying! I'm wanting to go for Sculpture.  I haven't completely narrowed it down yet but am thinking about:

• Pratt
• MassArt
• Tyler
• MICA
• Carnegie Mellon 
• Hunter
• Rutgers
• NYU 

How is everyone's statement of purpose/intent writing going? I'm struggling with it a bit! Anyone else? 

Also my website is: karrileamonart.com (Need to add pieces and update a bit.) Would love any feedback! 

Thanks!
