Local high school sophomores, juniors and seniors get a taste of what college-level studio art classes are like in the two-week intensive Studio Art Summer Immersion (SASI) program that is coordinated by the College’s Department of Studio Art. The program gives college-bound students a dynamic summer experience and the opportunity to work with local artist-educators to produce drawings, paintings, digital photos and mixed media works.
