The Center for Advanced Mentored Studies Where students learn from expert faculty to develop their practice and achieve new heights in art making The Center for Advanced Mentored Studies at Anderson Ranch is a vital link in the education of emerging artists. Advanced students gain access to master faculty—top contemporary artists and educators—over a three-year period, providing rigorous inquiry and steady direction for their individual practice. Students gain the critical levels of knowledge and mentorship necessary to take the next, important steps of becoming serious contributors in their chosen fields. AMS Anderson Ranch offers Advanced Mentored Studies programs in the fields of Photography, Painting & Drawing and Ceramics. The programs, which include studio work, critical dialog and critique, offer artists the opportunity to expand the scope of their current practice as well as their ability to develop a critical eye regarding their work. In addition to weeklong or two-week workshops each year, participants engage in mid-year portfolio reviews as well as quarterly meetings with faculty to discuss their ongoing work and progress. At mid-year, faculty conduct an online critique with the entire group. The Application Deadline is March 1, 2019, and must be submitted via our online application form at andersonranch.slideroom.com. All applications will be reviewed by the program faculty. Notifications to applicants will be made by March 22, 2019. Programs within the Center for Advanced Mentored Studies are generously underwritten by Susan and Robert Brown, Becky and Mike Murray and David Newberger.
