In 2014, the Eileen S. Kaminsky Family Foundation partnered with Jersey City teachers and art educators to launch a high school summer residency, Sol Studio. This partnership’s goal is to support young students and give them the space, materials and guidance necessary to develop true artist portfolios.
About Sol Studio:
Sol Studio’s mission is to provide art students with resources to encourage them to fully explore their individualities and cultures in the development of their portfolios. During Sol Studio’s annual summer residency at ESKFF, students are provided materials, workspace, and college-level and graduate mentors. Students and mentors work closely together in a shared studio space, giving each the opportunity to collaborate and evolve their individual practices.
Sol Studio is a not just a place through which young artists walk; it is a place where they come to discuss their ideas, to process what they see and hear, and to relish in what they create. It is a place where they leave with a deeper understanding of what it means to be an artist.
