Graduate School Application - San Francisco Art Institute


Application can be accessed at link below

I have been interested in the Art Institute in San Francisco since my junior year of high school, yet the out of state tuition was not a possibility.  This institute seems to allow the student to further investigate their place within the art world with an interdisciplinary context.  They offer the possibility to be aware of multiple methodologies of exploration into different ways of thought that will allow the student to further be able to step out of their box.  The San Francisco Art Institute has internationally accomplished faculty who are engaged in and offer every art form that we have available at VCU; including cultural theory, art history, film, video, sound, digital media, design, print media, photography, painting, sculpture, new genres, and writing.  Students are able to work independently and also one-on-one with the faculty.  They also require teaching assistantships and/or professional internships.  I feel like attending an institute with similar courses offered in a different location in the United States, the west coast to be specific, especially since I have lived in four different locations on the east coast, would allow me to further my concepts in a different environment to embrace diversity.

GRADUATE - Aaron Rosenstreich
“Aaron Rosenstreich was born in Burlington, Vermont in 1980. He received his BFA from the State University of New York at Purchase, School of Art and Design in 2003 and his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2007. Rosenstreich works almost exclusively with black and white photography in a wide range of historic processes. Using various historic and modern photographic technologies as descriptive tools, Rosenstreich explores themes of age, place, and time. The intersection between these themes is the foundation his images are built upon. His work has been exhibited in California, New York, Spain and Vermont, and most recently at Hatch Gallery in Oakland, and The Lab in San Francisco, CA. Rosenstreich lives and works in San Francisco.”
