Oxbow School of Art and Artists Residency! We’re not doing a fellowship program this year but we do a lot of public classes and usually do a fellowship (residency) in the fall. I work at Oxbow and it is a fantastic place.

Hi! I did this in 2019, I applied to one school without a lot of research beforehand (ended up applying for something really weird and not even close to what I'm applying for now) and it was good experience for the next go-around the following year in 2020. I researched, called to meet with faculty and professors, stalked previous students' thesis exhibitions, sorted through visiting artist archives, etc. as research to find the program with the best fit. I still feel like there are so many other programs but after searching for a social practice + studio MFA hybrid from early Sept to Dec, I was ready. Take as much time as you need researching and don't be afraid to reach out to current students and current faculty. I got the best info from them.

Thank you so much for sharing - your friend’s work is fantastic, very much a similar path I hope to be on.

Hello! I applied to PSU and Otis College. I’m an artist working with food in installation and social practice contexts. Curious to if anyone has any scoop on Otis MFA programs, I get a feeling the program will be pricy but the faculty I met with were very supportive and warm. Hoping everyone gets into their dream schools and thankful to read through your comments.
