But can I kick it?
Yes you can (with our guidance).
Application Process
NYAP will first confirm you have been approved for off campus study.
The NYAP Director contacts you to set up an interview. You will discuss your interests, goals and any additional information needed for review of your application.
After the interview, you will receive an acceptance notice within a week.
If you are accepted, you will be assigned to a NYAP faculty in your area to continue the discussion.
Once you’ve paid your acceptance fee, you receive an introductory call from the NYAP faculty who continues with the review of your application materials. This NYAP faculty will advise you through the semester.
New York Arts Program is committed to helping our students grow as artists no matter where they come from, what they look like, or how they identify. We strive to make our program accessible to everyone by seeking out internship sponsors who come from diverse backgrounds and who have a far reaching, open and innovative approach to artistic practice.
