Pre-College ArtLab (PCAL)

Every summer, high school students from across the country attend the Pre-College ArtLab to experience life as a student at the Kansas City Art Institute. Students work alongside accomplished faculty to expand their work technically and conceptually.

During the two weeks, students study life drawing and art history, plus their major studio. Weekends are devoted to introducing students to practicing artists and KCAI alumni, area galleries and the local Kansas City arts scene.

Students enjoy working in professional and spacious studios, living in suite-style rooms in the brand new, award-winning Barbara Marshall Residence Hall, and gathering with friends for delicious meals in the Wylie Dining Center, all located in the heart of the beautiful 16-acre campus.

Students who successfully complete PCAL will be eligible for an annual $1,500 scholarship upon enrollment in KCAI's degree program. This $1,500 scholarship is in addition to the KCAI merit scholarship and financial aid for which a student may qualify.
