Some Brandeis undergraduates may be surprised to hear that Brandeis is home to a collection of art graduate students. The Post-Baccalaureate program in Studio Art is unique among graduate programs here at Brandeis-students apply to the post-bac program to help develop their portfolios before moving on to MFA programs or to develop their skills as an artist while exploring the career options ahead of them. Said Marc Schepens (GRAD), "This is a special program, because it helps young artists develop a studio practice and body of work to hopefully gain acceptance to the very competitive MFA programs." Post-bacs also often work as TAs; post-bac Laila Mazer (GRAD) called being a TA "my favorite experience at Brandeis."
"Prospect I" features the works of seven artists. The show is titled after the art studios on Prospect Street where post-bacs and senior studio art majors work. The exhibition is currently on view in the Dreitzer Gallery in Spingold Theater Center. It runs until March 28. On April 1, 'Prospect II,' a second installment of post-bac art, will go on view through April 24.
