The Future BFA "Artist as Researcher" Exhibition @ the AAC
The Art Academy of Cincinnati (AAC) recently invited Ms. Schorsch to nominate 4 OHHS Art and Design students for full scholarships, covering tuition and housing, to participate in the Future BFA program. Future BFA is the AAC portfolio and college prep program for rising High School students interested in pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in visual art, design, or creative writing in college. For three weeks in July, students from across the country assembled on campus in the historic neighborhood of Over-the-Rhine in Cincinnati, Ohio. During the Future BFA program, students took a college-level course based on artistic research and independent projects. As a result of the course and full access to the AAC studios, FBFA students produced work culminating in the final “Artist as Researcher” exhibition. In addition, FBFA students grew in their understanding of themselves and their practice as an artist and formed long-lasting friendships with like-minded peers. Upon successful completion of the Future BFA Pre-College program students gained 3-college credits as a transferable studio elective.
Congratulations again to Milo Butts, Rain Magrum, Jackson Mundstock, and Finley Nguyen on receiving full scholarships to participate in this amazing summer school opportunity! On Friday, July 26th, from 4-8 pm, a celebration of their experience took place alongside the exhibition of the artworks they created in Site 1212, located at the cornerstone of the AAC campus. Students spoke about bringing their artistic visions to life and their amazing experiences with the Future BFA program.
