Eligibility

Students

Application to NYSRP is open to upper-level undergraduate and graduate students working in the visual arts in a wide range of disciplines and genres from the participating Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design (AICAD) member schools.

You are eligible to apply if you are currently enrolled at a participating AICAD school as a 3rd year or 4th year undergraduate student, or as a graduate student majoring in fine arts, related visual arts, photography, graphic arts or design.

You are not eligible to apply if your AICAD school is located in New York City (SVA, Cooper Union, Parsons and Pratt).

Graduate students from AICAD schools who are interested in applying to the NYSRP should confirm their eligibility with their department head prior to beginning the application process.

    NYSRP has really opened me up to the idea of an individualized studio practice. The time in the studio is a time of experimentation and play that is really fulfilling. Working with my peers and the dialogues that arose through informal conversation with them, seemed to be the best tool for development of my ideas. New York is so much fun and has so much to offer in terms of people and places.
