Jump StART is a two week summer workshop experience designed for high school artists looking to immerse themselves in challenging and exciting studio sessions at a college level. 

Session Dates: July 14-25, 2025, M-F, 8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Program Overview

Work in small class sizes on innovative and original projects which will help you to develop your portfolio and give you a chance to engage in art media not available in most high school learning environments. Instructors are professional artists who teach college coursework and run professional studios. 

In addition to 6 hours of instruction and studio time per day, you will have social interaction with other students, visit artists’ studios, the Â鶹ÊÓƵ×îÐÂ×îÈ« Museum and School of Art Collections, get feedback from KSU faculty on your work, and participate in a workshop to photograph and document your art pieces produced in the program.

Whether you are new to art, or an emerging young artist interested in fleshing out a portfolio, Jump StART at Â鶹ÊÓƵ×îÐÂ×îÈ«'s School of Art has an experience that’s just right for you. We welcome students entering grades 10-12 in the 2025-26 academic year to explore new avenues of artistic development while immersing themselves in a creative college-level studio art experience.
