Type: Residencies, Workshops, Exchanges [View all]
Posted by: Kent Blossom Art Intensives
Deadline: Mon, May 11th, 2026

Kent Blossom Art Intensives (KBAI) are a series of two-week studio art intensives conducted each summer since 1968 at Kent State University.

Similar  to an artist residency, participants create a self-directed body of artwork under the guidance of resident School of Art faculty and nationally and internationally renowned visual artists from around the country. These studio intensives technical demonstrations, one on one and group critiques, studio space and access to equipment and facilities, and professional mentoring. 

Each course is specific to one medium and the offerings change annually. KBAI provides students and multi-generational individual artists with two weeks of focused learning, experimentation, and creation under the guidance of experienced artists from around the country. Students may continue their explorations of the medium most familiar to them; experienced artists are equally encouraged to discover new modes of creating.  We are proud to invite an outstanding roster of visiting artists to complement the instructional insights of our resident faculty. Visiting artists also present public talks on their work, giving KBAI participants and the greater public an opportunity to learn more about contemporary issues and ideas in the visual arts.

Enrollment is open to undergraduate and graduate students at any college or university as well as individual artists. Participants must have an intermediate understanding of the medium to enroll. The workshop fee is $1250.00 and course fee that provides some materials is $75.00. Single occupancy dorm-style housing is available for $49.00 per night.
