The Blue Ridge Summer Institute for Young Artists is a three-week camp for high school students interested in making art that challenges old ideas about what art is and what it isn't.

Through intense study, collaboration, and hand-held digital technology, BLUR students explore the way art will be made in the future.

Join us June 17th-July 8th 2012 on the campus of Sweet Briar College

Fly Fishing - Rose and Joe on Flickr.Weekends at BLUR can be spent in the studio making more art, but sometimes you have to get out and take advantage of Sweet Briar’s 3,250 stunning acres. Here’s a shot of Rose (visual arts) learning to fly fish down at the Boathouse. No one caught anything, but that wasn’t the point. The point was seeing the art in everything.

Totally low-tech, but a perfect example of the BLUR philosophy: the material for art can be found anywhere and everywhere (check your recycling bin). hioutsidevoice: awesome paper sculpture!
