How old are most of you? I am thinking about applying to Skowhegan next year, but I will be 33 and wonder if that will be awkward in relation to the age of most of the participants. I know they accept anyone over 21, but... I sort of don't want to be one of two "old folks" at summercamp, and might try for something more like Yaddo, Bemis, MacDowell, etc.
Hmm... my rec letters for ISP are from former employers that I've stayed in touch with, who are definitely known to the people who teach at Whitney. Hopefully they're on good terms with most! (same 2 as I put for reference contacts in Skowhegan). But my recommenders don't teach in the ISP themselves. A couple of their faculty are professors i had in undergrad. I guess we'll see...
I'm curious if anyone's applied to Skowhegan or Whitney this year. I know they aren't degree-granting programs so I wasn't sure if it's appropriate to post them on this site... but since I'm already a grad student in the arts, figured I'd give it a shot!
