mainly focus is on landscape/cityscape

The program is open to all majors Kacey

Simone, are you referring to the coronavirus?

We have been keeping an eye on the news from Italy, the virus is in the Lombardy region and Veneto but the officials are being very careful to try to contain it. I am also in touch with SRISA to get first hand updates.

Financial aid is available for some students (if not previously used for prior semesters). Please contact VP of Financial Aid, Joe Vollaro Email: Jvollaro@academyart.edu

I believe it’s Via San Gallo 53/red

Tamara Hubbard - Online Associate Director Email: THubbard@academyart.edu

here is the address for SRISA Via S. Gallo, 53/red, 50129 Firenze FI, Italy

you do not purchase your ticket until we give the go ahead, (once we have 10 students confirmd registered)

Thank you guys!

thanks everyone!
