Why SAIC

The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) is one of the most historically significant accredited independent schools of art and design in the nation, located in one of the greatest American cities. SAIC is distinct in the way that it provides graduate, post-baccalaureate, and undergraduate students an interdisciplinary curriculum and the necessary freedom to develop as artists, designers, and scholars.
Our engaged student body and award-winning faculty of artists, scholars, and leading practitioners work in close proximity, sharing exceptional resources and establishing a forum for a vigorous exchange of ideas.
The heralded Art Institute of Chicago museum provides an incredible resource for inspiration and study. Chicago gives our students access to one of the world’s most creatively vibrant and architecturally rich cities, and we encourage engagement in its full spectrum of cultural amenities.

Is there a way you can show me your portfolio? I'm thinking of maybe going there, but I need to be 100% sure since I live in Australia.

[@yier607]

Fluffy Ivy Sure, but my portfolio consists of only work in photography. If you still want to see it, is there an email I can reach you at?

[@Kikiinator]

Jack Zheng ah yes, thank you! My email is [e-mail].

[@alyssaevans8065]

I'm going to their summer program and I really really want to go there in the fall!!

[@pphedup]

It might almost kill U. You MUST belong by doing what's being done. (SAIC Graduate) For example, if U really wanted to do a painting along the lines of, say, Sargent, God help you if you ask for a grade. Tip: To be really on the cutting edge, be sure to include a cartoon somewhere in your work. LFMAO. Best of luck.
