Space is still available for PONT-AVEN
Visual Art in Brittany, France

Brown University's Summer Studio Art Program in Pont-Aven, France is an
intensive studio experience for foundation and advanced students at the
Pont-Aven School of Contemporary Art <http://www.pontaven.org/index.php>

The immersion setting and individual attention from faculty make this an
ideal opportunity for students concentrating in the Arts. Experience the
artists' community of France and enjoy an international experience
during Summer 2009. The program is an intensive live work environment
that is often a bridge to graduate studies. 

For all its beauty and history as an art community, Pont-Aven is also an
ideal place for critical contemporary dialogues to take place. It offers
an abundant source of visual information for students to work from. The
ocean, Aven River, fields and nearby pre-historic sites are easily
accessed, providing rich references for the studio courses. Pont-Aven's
outdoor weekly food market in town has wonderful fresh fruits,
vegetables, breads and cheeses.

PARIS & PROVIDENCE

Political Science: National Identity in a Globalized World

This 8-week program, developed jointly by faculty of the Sciences Po and
Brown University, provides the unique opportunity to investigate
contemporary issues of identity in a globalized world. By spending 4
weeks in Paris at the Sciences Po, where undergraduates from US
institutions work with Sciences Po scholars, and 4 weeks on the Brow
University campus in Providence, RI, where Sciences Po undergraduates
join regular class meetings with their US counterparts and Brown
faculty, participants view this timely topic through multiple lenses. 

Benefitting from the diversity of faculty expertise and the range of
cultural and academic experiences, participants experience a global
curriculum in the deepest sense. 

A part of Brown's ongoing internationalization mission, this program is
unlike any other education abroad experience. 

The application deadline has been extended to Wednesday, April 15th.
Availability is on a first-come, first-served basis. 
Visit the web for further details.
