(Queens, NY) Do you or does someone you love want to go to Art College to pursue a degree in Art? QCA’s High School to Art School Portfolio Development Program (HS2AS) provides high school juniors and seniors with high quality arts skills training including portfolio development, mentorship opportunities, college application assistance, and financial aid planning for college.
“I love the atmosphere; I’m finally able to be surrounded by other kids who are just as serious about being an artist as I am. My teachers are amazing and they’ve helped me every step of the way.” -HS2AS Student, Gabriella Nieves
On February 15th, HS2AS will be conducting interviews for our Winter/Spring session that will meet on Saturdays from March until May. Students submit an online application and a group of applicants are invited to interview. Applicants must bring five drawings to the interview to be reviewed by our teachers. Participants are then chosen based on merit and need, we hope to reach students who would otherwise not receive services.
We prepare our students to aggressively compete for admission to distinguished art programs in colleges, universities, and art schools through portfolio preparation and the college/art school application process. HS2AS students have been accepted to The Cooper Union, Pratt, Parsons, New York University, Fashion Institute of Technology, CUNY-Hunter College, SUNY-Purchase, RISD, and more.
