Faculty

May 18–June 30, 2013

The art division offers a six-week session for academic credit as a special summer program. The School is located on the Stoeckel estate and is supported by the Ellen Battell Stoeckel Trust.

Through the generosity of this trust, the full expenses of tuition, room, and board are covered by a fellowship grant to each student approved for admission. Selected colleges, universities, and professional art schools across the country and abroad are invited to nominate for these fellowships two candidates who are currently enrolled as juniors in their programs. There is an application fee of $20 and a registration fee of $1,500.

Students in art follow a required program of painting, printmaking, drawing, and digital photography..

Distinguished artists are on both the resident and the visiting faculty. The visiting faculty provide workshops, lectures, and individual criticism. The resident faculty in 2013 includes: Dru Donovan, Chie Fueki, Sam Messer, and Didier Williams. Visiting artists and lecturers will include: Holland Cotter, Johannes DeYoung, Anoka Faruqee, Rochelle Feinstein, Josephine Halvorson, Mary Reid-Kelley, Nicole Krauss, Robert Storr, and Mickalene Thomas.

Information about the program may be obtained in late January from the schools that have been invited to participate. The application deadline is in March. Persons interested in being considered for nomination should so inform their department heads. Individuals may not apply directly to the Norfolk program.

5. Examples of work in digital format. No more than 20 images submitted on a cd in Mac OS format. We look for a cohesive body of work, but we also understand and expect that a young artist should be searching, pushing and trying things. So send 20 images that you feel good about. Do not include things from different media just to prove that you have tried things, but only send images from different mediums if you are actually engaged in them and are interested in doing such as painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media, digital photography, video etc. Digital files must be sent on a single CD. The CD must be Macintosh-readable. A duplicate CD must also be sent. CDs must be sent in paper sleeves only and both CDS inserted in a clasp envelope (size: 6-7 " x 9-10"), with the applicant’s name on the CDs, the sleeves, and on the envelope. The work on the disk must be in a folder named with this convention: LastnameFirstnameStills, e.g. DoeJaneStills. Do not submit more than 20 still images. Still images can be no larger than 5 megabytes each, and must be RGB color in JPEG format. Name and number all files LastnameFirstname00.jpg, e.g. DoeJane13.jpg. Do not use any presentation format, e.g. Power-Point or PDF File format for videos and moving images

If you wish to include a video, all videos must be formatted in QuickTime. Video files should be no longer than two minutes in length. Please note that videos are considered as part of your selection of twenty files, not as additional material. Do not include titles or credits within the video files.
