Applying for postgraduate art programmes

Amanda Ralph, Programme Director of the MA in Visual Arts Practices (IADT) will conduct a meet and greet session to discuss applications to postgraduate art programmes. While there will be specific information provided on the MAVIS programme, Amanda will also discuss her own experience of applying to and studying in the United States along with general advice regarding proposals for study at Masters level. Recent graduates (critics, curators and artists), and those about to graduate or those interested in pursuing postgraduate art programmes are welcome.

The session will include a presentation entitled "You don't do art for no good reason. It costs so much" James Turrell, Sunday Independent, 1991, which focuses on one of the research themes that will be taken up during the 2013 MAVIS programme.
