If you are seeking a creative, challenging, and rewarding Italian study program, SACI is the right choice for you.
Highlights:
Meeting with students from many different schools and backgrounds in a creative environment is a unique and enjoyable experience. The intensity of a year abroad at SACI has helped many students find their individual paths and enrich their creative futures. In addition, courses in studio art, art history and art conservation make use of field trips to artists' studios, private collections, galleries, art fairs, professional designers' studios and manufacturers of Italian design products. SACI students have access to modern art collections and contemporary art museums, such as the Museum of Contemporary Art in Prato, the Marino Marini Museum in Florence and the Contemporary Art Museum of the Papesse in Siena. For students of art conservation, there is the unique opportunity to participate in on-site conservation projects under the direction of the Italian Ministry of Cultural and Artistic Heritage. SACI is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD).
