MFA Advising.
For students who need our expertise to fine tune their portfolios and admissions materials.
You know the graduate area you want to pursue, but can use some help finalizing your list of programs, curate your portfolio or films, or get feedback on your Statement of Purpose and other written work.
ARTriculate coaches help you prepare for graduate school applications in architecture, film, industrial design, interior design, visual arts and other creative areas. Often it’s only a few hours working together to help you finalize your portfolio submissions, tweak your films, or prepare your designs to meet the expectations of the reviewers.
If you need this help we’re here to work with you.

We build a plan together with you.
Some students need guidance over time. Others need help in specific areas. It depends on where you are and what you need.
The initial step is always an introductory meeting with Florence. In that meeting we where your are in the process, where you feel you need help, and how our expertise and guidance can get you accepted.

Most students contact us about six months before they are ready to apply. This allows us to provide you the guidance you need as you prepare your art and writing, and for us to give you feedback in a measured and actionable timeline based on the application due dates.
Some students come to us needing curation and advice for assembling a portfolio of already created work, other students need help developing new work to support their applications. Whichever path you find yourself on our coaches can help you achieve your goals.
It’s never too early or too late to start working together.

Most students only need a few hours of guidance but if you need more our art coaches are able to give you the time you need to submit strong applications.
