summer studio brochure cover You belong here.

July 23-27, 2008

Have fun. Be challenged. That's the thinking behind the summer workshops at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. In five days, you will discover ways to use design solutions to attract attention, inform, and educate. You will get a sense of how to apply a variety of technologies to make it all happen, with faculty who can help you see the big picture. Plus, you'll meet some new friends and get your hands on some pretty cool projects. Remember, this is also a great opportunity to see what's possible and how it feels to be working in the creative and applied arts. Not to mention, you'll enjoy summer in the city - the best time to experience Pittsburgh!
