Studio Based Learning is an annual, three-day studio program for area high school students held in September. For more than twenty-five years, students from the Island and across the Blue Hill Peninsula have taken part in Studio Based Learning. The program is an immersive studio experience for young individuals in our area, providing students with the opportunity to participate in workshops in craft media taught by professional artists. Students and chaperones live on campus throughout the program and, in addition to studio time, each evening faculty artists present work and share their ideas, inspiration, and creative processes.
In 2023, sixty students participated from Deer Isle-Stonington High School, George Stevens Academy, Harbor School in Blue Hill, Bucksport High School, Vinalhaven High School, Mount Desert Island High School, and Ellsworth High School.
MDI High School pays the workshop fee for students to attend!
