CALIBRASKA CREATIVE COLLEGE PREP COURSE

This is a special course designed to give Nebraskans interested in pursuing a career in the creative arts one on one guidance as well as access to a supportive community of like minded folx.

In this extended offering, students will work directly with our founding director, Erica Larsen-Dockray to get individualized support in applying for arts programs. Erica has developed an organizational and support system with past students who were then accepted into programs at CalArts, the Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts, Otis College, Pasadena College of the Arts, UCLA and more.

This course will support students in their college application processes including:

> Guidance on program searches and possibilities
> Developing a body of work to build a portfolio or other visual application requirements that best represent each individual’s voice and creative expression.
> Support in written application requirements such as artist statements, essays, etc.
> Bring in guests and recruiters from their various schools or similar for further support
> Organizing application requirements, timelines, materials, and work samples
