If you had the opportunity to study at a small school made up of hand picked students, in a program run by Massive Black professionals and high profile traditional artists, would you attend? Why would you want to attend?

Right now a dual program is being discussed.

1. Traditional Fine Arts/Atelier Program- Carl Dobsky Head Instructor (if you do not know Carl's work please search for his posts). 2 years to completion.

2. A Concept Design Certificate program- Led by the professionals of Massive Black and select professors, with the goal of finishing and immediately entering the field of concept design with the right portfolio and skills to run hard and fast in the entertainment industry -2 years to completion.

We understand the need to release more information, and will do so as we progress. For now, I wanted to run this idea by the members of the community like yourself.

Yearly tuition would be less than half what the major art schools costs are as this would not be done as a for profit enterprise, but with the legitimate goals of education in mind.

Thoughts?
