Institut des hautes études en arts plastiques (IHEAP)

Call for Applications 2013
IHEAP is open to all those who have an interest in singular and extreme practices which currently and sporadically appear in the art world and elsewhere. IHEAP is for those who want to change their artistic practice or professional activity, for those who after several years of art school want to break free of alienated learning, who expect more from a school than a framework for artistic production, for those who reject art as it is commonly practiced, and finally for those who wish to work on essential issues in intimate and experimental conditions.

The course of study is completed in two years (application for Session 2013-2015). The first year is composed of sessions work that mix practice and theorie. The second year is dedicated to the creation of an activity report. Its purpose is to demonstrate the development of the participant's research. The development of this document will be carefully followed by IHEAP's staff.

IHEAP does not discriminate by age and no specific diploma is required to apply. Study at Iheap is equivalent to a post-graduate degree. The application fee is 75 euros. Tuition is 2800 euros for two years studies.
