Overview
A Month at Cobalt is the “Slice of Life” program, which is available any time the 2 year Scenic Artist Training Program is active and in session during the Academic Year (September to May) . Participants come to spend a month joining in whatever is going on during that time. You will spend weekdays learning and painting in the studio, living and eating at the house with the current class of students, and experiencing whatever Cobalt has to offer during your stay.
Curriculum
The Studio is always open and participants are expected to follow the regular class schedule starting at 9:00 am and ending around 5:00 pm 5 days a week. The experience is an immersion into the curriculum and activities of a bustling training and production environment. MAC participants generally eat and sleep at the Cobalt House with the students and guest instructors, but we can refer you to alternative housing arrangements if that is your preference.
Although the price of this program does not include Specialty Pro-Seminars which may occur during a MAC program, a they can be incorporated into your stay. If the fee for the Pro-Seminar is higher than the cost of the MAC, the additional a cost will be added to your total fee, pro-rated based on the cost of the seminar.
Due to the demands of our commission project scheduling we cannot guarantee that a specific topic will be taught at a specific time. However, during your conversation with Cobalt Instructors you will together determine the best window of time for you to get maximum benefit. This program has received great feedback from its many happy participants.
