Venice, Italy

The Euro might be the money you carry around, but the real currency of Venice is art, architecture, water…and magic. Students who go on our Venice Studio Arts Program usually come back with a dreamy look in their eye and a rueful smile that says they have seen more beauty in a single semester than they could hope to recount.

Our programs in Venice immerse students in an extraordinary artistic culture. Each program offers courses in painting, drawing, and graphic design, while specialized electives like glassblowing and printmaking are offered each fall and spring. No matter your major, a semester or summer in Venice is an unparalleled source of inspiration.

Interestingly, students report a certain reluctance to leave Venice and explore the rest of the country or other parts of Europe. But it does happen on occasion—to Corsica or Switzerland or many other places nearby.
