Studio Art Centers International (SACI) in Florence, Italy, is proud to announce that in addition to our undergraduate and post-baccalaureate programs, students can earn an MFA degree in Studio Art (Painting or Drawing) or Photography.

Students in SACI's MFA programs pursue a curriculum integrating practical and critical skills that encourage individual innovation, creative collaboration, mentorships, and instruction from SACI's outstanding faculty. They benefit from interaction with members of the SACI Artists Council and the Friends of SACI Council, which include established artists, photographers, critics, curators, and publishers, many of international renown.

MFA students attend SACI in Florence for two successive academic years and earn 60 credits. During their first year, under the mentorship of their selected Major Professor, they put together a program that balances independent study with classroom study. In their second year, emphasis is placed upon career options for emerging artists. Students gain practical experience as teaching assistants and their work is featured in major exhibitions in Florence.

Working in their own individual studios in a fully renovated Renaissance palazzo in the heart of Florence, students are just steps away from the great works that have drawn artists and photographers past and present to Florence to seek inspiration and develop their own pictorial language. In their graduate seminars, students explore a range of contemporary art practices, visit artists in their studios, and interview museum curators, art critics, and other significant figures in the art world. Students travel to major art sites, attend international art fairs throughout Italy, and are encouraged, through individual practice and group critiques, to explore to the fullest their potential as creative artists.

SACI is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis through March 15, 2014.For details about our MFA programs and SACI scholarships, see SACI's website, www.saci-florence.edu.

The School of Design and the faculty of Design, Architecture and Building (DAB) at UTS are proud to announce a new joint PhD program in partnership with the University of Vienna. We welcome applications in the area of Practice-informed Research (PiR), commencing in early 2014.

Critical Spatial Thinking: Design and Performative PracticeThis PhD program brings together candidates and leading academics from the UTS School of Design and the Institute for Theatre, Film and Media Studies at the University of Vienna in a trans-disciplinary research cluster. The program leads to a joint PhD degree, managed and taught at both universities. Working across the disciplines of spatial design, architecture, theatre, exhibition and media, the program engages existing design and artistic competencies and applies them directly to questions of design and performative practice.

PhD proposals must relate to one or several of the program's main research arenas:
–Critical Practices: Performance, Design and the Politics of Space
–Sharing Space: Collaborative Practices in Curating, Design and Performance
–Staging the City: Performative Strategies and the Activation of Urban Space

Successful candidates spend periods of time at both universities. The current academic leads at the respective institutions are Professor Thea Brejzek and Professor Lawrence Wallen from UTS; and Professor Wolfgang Greisenegger and Professor Brigitte Marschall from the University of Vienna.

In many ways, it defines the new and moving boundary of the design discipline. Seeking to engage with the public and social realm—physical or virtual—with a view to shaping and transforming human action and historical experience, the Art, Design and the Public Domain (ADPD) concentration of the Masters in Design Studies (MDes) program gathers creative and ambitious individuals from all backgrounds and academic disciplines with a predilection for intervention, exhibition and public work, and a keen interest in contemporary issues of urban, historical, aesthetic and technological culture. The program offers a high degree of freedom for exploration and research in expanding the limits of spatial practice and integrating artists into the process of planning and design. ADPD program participants are practicing artists, filmmakers, architects and cultural producers wishing to reframe, reboot and develop a practice of creative and imaginative speculation or art-related work with an emphasis on sophisticated thinking, advanced fabrication methodologies and techniques, and social and aesthetic engagement. The program strongly welcomes unconventional proposals for study that address emerging issues in all aspects of the changing social and cultural environment, and is designed to accommodate graduated MFAs as well as to serve the purposes of a traditional MFA program in lieu of an orthodox art academy. Students benefit from a wide variety of assets within the Harvard GSD—cultural theory, applied computation, fabrication, speculative design—and from strong links to other parts of Harvard University including Visual and Environmental Studies. In addition to collaborations with international centers of political and experimental arts, the program boasts an impressive group of associated faculty: contemporary artists and leaders of thought committed to working in a close relationship with the program and its participants. Area coordinators:  Krzysztof Wodiczko, Professor in Residence of Art and the Public Domain Sanford Kwinter, Professor of Architectural Theory and Criticism Associated faculty: Giuliana Bruno, Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies Benjamin Buchloh, Professor of Modern Art David Edwards, Professor of the Practice of Idea Translation, Founder and Director of Le Laboratoire Carrie Lambert-Beatty, Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies, and of History of Art and Architecture; Interim Director of the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts Jeffrey Schnapp, Affiliated Professor of Architecture, Professor of Romance Languages and Literature, Faculty Director of metaLAB Sam Auinger, Faculty Associate Theaster Gates, Faculty Associate Alfredo Jaar, Faculty Associate Natalie Jeremijenko, Faculty Associate Ronald Jones, Faculty Associate Rafael Lozano Hemmer, Faculty Associate Jill Magid, Faculty Associate Michael Rakowitz, Faculty Associate Greg Sholette, Faculty Associate Henry Urbach, Faculty Associate Associated institutions: Institute for Spatial Experiments  Ecole des Sciences  Politiques Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts The Master in Design Studies (MDes) at the Harvard GSD is a post-professional design research program comprised of eight concentration areas: Art, Design and the Public Domain; Critical Conservation; Energy and Environments; History and Philosophy of Design; Real Estate and the Built Environment; Risk and Resilience; Technology; Urbanism, Landscape, Ecology.

Pratt Institute's MFA in Fine Arts program is now accepting applications for the fall 2014 semester. Centrally located in Brooklyn's thriving creative community, Pratt's MFA program in Fine Arts immerses students in the cultures of contemporary art, supported by a faculty of working artists and peers. The graduate curriculum is both rigorous and flexible and fosters a deeper understanding of the histories, issues and cultural contexts that inform art-making today. Pratt's faculty members are distinguished by their achievements, exhibiting in New York and internationally, and receiving awards from the Guggenheim Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, Tiffany Foundation, Joan Mitchell Foundation, Skowhegan, Pollock-Krasner Foundation, Creative Capital, and Art Matters. Pratt's MFA program is ranked in the top 15 of 300 graduate programs in Fine Arts in the US News and World Reports and is housed on Pratt's beautifully landscaped, 25-acre campus in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.

Areas of emphasis are offered in painting/drawing, integrated practices and new forms, photography, sculpture, and printmaking. Although students apply to a specific area of interest, the program encourages cross-disciplinary study. Almost half of the degree program credits are unrestricted, and students tailor their program of study to their individual interests in consultation with their faculty advisors. Students gain proficiency in every aspect of studio practice through a combination of rigorous critical discussion, a broad selection of courses and approaches, opportunities for internships and work experience in New York, and a public exhibition of thesis projects. Pratt MFA students in Fine Arts are well prepared to become significant critical and creative leaders in their fields.

All MFA students are given individual studios and have access to shops and labs, including a fully equipped wood shop, metal shop, print shop, ceramics studios, darkrooms, digital labs with high-resolution scanners and printers, as well as dedicated campus galleries. There are many opportunities to show work in a variety of traditional and nontraditional spaces on campus. Each semester, students open their studios to the public, and each spring, second-year students mount individual thesis shows that are also open to the public. In addition to a regular schedule of studio visits by faculty, the department's Visiting Artist Lecture Series (VALS) brings internationally renowned artists and critics to give public lectures and have individual studio visits with second-year graduate students. Pratt Artists League (PAL), a graduate student-run organization, also invites visiting artists and critics for studio visits and plans other student-generated activities and exhibitions. A five-week interdisciplinary summer course in Rome, "City as Studio," offers graduate students the opportunity to research and create site-specific work in an international context.

Scholarships: Graduate scholarships are available to incoming domestic and international students based on merit and are awarded upon acceptance. All students will be considered for scholarships. No application is necessary.

Pratt Institute is ranked among the top schools by BusinessWeek and DesignIntelligence and is one of the world's leading colleges of art, design, and architecture, offering many highly ranked programs from which to choose in its Schools of Architecture, Art and Design, Information and Library Science, and Liberal Arts and Sciences. Pratt is an ideal choice for graduate study: we can offer a world-renowned faculty of practicing professionals; two campuses with state-of-the-arts facilities—a beautifully landscaped, 25-acre main campus in Brooklyn and a Manhattan campus in a seven-story, renovated, historic building in Chelsea; on-campus housing as well as athletic and dining facilities; and easy access to the arts and culture capital of the world—New York City.

臺南市政府文化局為推動藝企媒合，今年3月首度舉辦「2013臺南新藝獎」，20位入圍的新銳藝術家，前6名並獲得參與「2013台南藝術博覽會」機會， 與草間彌生、奈良美智等大師作品同場展出，多位新銳藝術家於藝博會中作品成交的表現也相當亮眼。為了持續扶植及獎掖青年藝術家創作發展，發掘臺灣下一個 「藝術新星」，文化局明年將續辦「2014臺南新藝獎」，自今年11月13日起為期一個月公開徵件，歡迎全國藝術新秀踴躍報名。

以「下一個藝術世代－Next Art Tainan」為發想、今年首辦的「2013臺南新藝獎」，是臺南市政府為活絡藝術市場，建構藝企媒合平台所做的全新嘗試。今年首年的舉辦，除成功結合台 南藝博會將優質新銳創作引進藝術市場，市府文化局也媒合20位新銳藝術家作品及20個在地特色店家，同步在3至4月舉辦的「藝起遊臺南」展覽熱烈展出。藝 術品與文化商業空間的巧妙融合，使文化商業空間化身為一個個美術館展間，讓空間與作品譜出一段段巧妙趣味的故事。透過新藝獎的競賽機制、藝博會的市場挑戰 以及空間展的創新思維，許多首屆參與的新銳藝術家也因此漸到畫廊注目，展覽邀約不斷。

以民間藝術博覽會搭配公辦藝術新秀徵獎的模式，可說徹底突破以往美術獎項思維；透過公私部門的協力合作，也讓許多尚未經開發的年輕、潛力藝術家有機會被聚 焦，成為當代藝術市場明日之星。這些經由專業藝術家嚴格評選機制脫穎而出的新秀作品，後勢行情也勢必成為藝術收藏家納入收藏清單的潛力投資標的。

 

文化局表 示，以今年第二度舉行的「2013台南藝術博覽會」來說，三天成交量近7千萬，不僅展現亮眼佳績，也足證臺南作為臺灣近代藝術重鎮及藝術消費市場的驚人潛 力，因此國內實力新秀如參加入選「臺南新藝獎」，形同獲得一把開啟藝術專業生涯的鑰匙。明年「2014臺南新藝獎」前6名獲獎藝術家同樣將進入「2014 台南藝術博覽會」鋒芒展出，在飯店擁有一整間專屬的房間展出自己的作品，這樣的待遇也可說是北中南4城市飯店型藝術博覽會最優規格。

 

為了鼓勵新秀進行當代 藝術多元實驗以及創新風格，明年的「臺南新藝獎」徵件作品依舊維持形式不拘，只要是具備本國國籍、民國62年1月以後出生且目前無畫廊專屬經紀合約者皆可 參加（僅有「展覽約」及「非專屬代理約」仍可參加），徵件時間自2013年11月13日至12月13日止。

而為讓「2014臺南新藝獎」20位獲選的新銳藝術家的作品到臺南有更完整的發聲空間，文化局也吸取首年策展經驗，精心挑選臺南在地畫廊、展覽空間加入成 為明年的展出空間，讓藝術家除藝博會外，能有更多元的管道獲得藏家與藝術愛好者的深入認識。由於空間類型將較今年多元，明年文化局亦特別邀請策展人來策 劃、媒合20位藝術家作品及藝術展覽空間。 

臺南市政府文化局誠摯邀請全國藝術新秀報名角逐「2014臺南新藝獎」，在古都風華的洗鍊下「飆新立異」，以個人的色彩為當代藝術重新命名，綻放光芒。活動簡章詳如附件：
