The Kirk Newman Art School’s Post-Baccalaureate Program is designed for recent fine arts graduates seeking to grow and strengthen their creative practice in a supportive community with access to professional studio facilities. The culmination of the 2024–2025 resident artists’ work will be on display in the Kirk Newman Art School commons from May 2–June 1, 2025. This unique group exhibition will feature new works in sculpture, ceramics, painting, printmaking, and photography from our seven residents.
The opening reception for this exhibition will coincide with Art Hop and its theme of Emergence on Friday, May 2 from 5–8pm. Join us in celebrating the talents of these amazing emerging artists! To learn more about each Resident and their art making journey, visit the KIA YouTube page after April 18 for our virtual ArtBreak series.
Preregistration is encouraged. Find out why.
In the event that a program is modified, postponed, or cancelled, we reach out via email to all who have preregistered. If a significant change is made on short notice, your preregistration helps to ensure that you get the word from us in the most timely manner possible.
Registering for programs in advance also helps our staff to assess set-up needs beforehand, reducing the need for last-minute adjustments to numbers of chairs, tables, etc. Further, it streamlines the check-in process when you arrive and allows us to keep you in the loop about other upcoming programs that might be of interest!
