Art and Art History 2021

APPLY
Admission to programs in Studio Art,
Photography, Graphic Design, or
Illustration and Animation requires
an art portfolio. You are required to
submit a portfolio of 12-15 examples
of your best artwork. A list of the titles
and media for each image should
be included. An artist statement or
statement of your artistic aspirations is
optional. If you do not have a portfolio
at the time of application, you will be
considered a conditional Art major
and a faculty advisor will evaluate
your work after your first semester.
Additionally, portfolios will be reviewed
for art scholarship consideration.
Portfolios may be submitted on the
admissions portal once the application
for admission is completed. Please see
the admission website for application
deadlines.
EXHIBIT IN
THE HEWITT
GALLERY OF ART
The Hewitt Gallery of Art is a professional gallery and
laboratory where you can gain firsthand experience
in exhibition practices. Marymount Manhattan
students curate, install, and present their work in
individual and group exhibitions. The Gallery is
also known in the New York art community as an
alternative exhibition space, showcasing the work of
emerging and established contemporary artists. In
addition, Gallery receptions give you opportunities
to engage with professional artists, critics, collectors,
and curators. Many of the exhibiting artists are also
guest presenters in our classes.
Art History applicants are not required
to submit a portfolio, but may submit
a five- to seven-page research paper
on either a specific artist or artistic
movement to be considered for an art
scholarship. This may be submitted
to the Office of Admission via email.
Please make reference in the subject
line and on paper that this submission
is for consideration for the Art History
scholarship. Please see the admission
website for application deadlines.
