Available Grants
The
Lenny Silver $1,000.00 study grant is
available for use in any of the approved for-credit Sugar Loaf classes
including this Ph.D. Program in Studio Arts.
Numerous government grants and residency fellowship
grants are also available.
Application for grants along with entrance into
the program may be made in
person at the
Endico Watercolor Studio.
Although grants may be used for program
fees, government student loans (in fact
loans of any kind) are not accepted as payment in the doctoral studies
program.
Too many students find themselves hobbled
by significant debt immediately on completion of many institutional upper
level programs, but the Sugar Loaf
University Ph.D. Program in Studio Arts remains an unencumbered
springboard for success in the arts.
Loans may of course be used for qualifying
undergraduate and graduate studies at other institutions.

Botanical Rain: the semiotics of an enduring Endico image
Print Version ISBN: 978-0-9827073-1-9

Those who believe art is not a science, do
not know art.
Those who believe science is not an art, do
not know science.
Creative and artistic excellence is something
that absolutely can be studied, learned, and implemented with
great and consistent success.
This book is about a single watercolor by
Mary Endico, painted as a plein air from memory when she was
only 23 years old.
For nearly half a century afterwards the
watercolor "Botanical Rain" has been a perennial favorite on
display in the Endico watercolor studio.
During that time Mary has sold more than
21,000 of her own original watercolors, painted by her own hand
and self-sold directly to collectors visiting her studio in
Sugar Loaf, NY.
Today Endico paintings are found in permanent
collections of museums and "Botanical Rain" is a favored
magazine cover image.
This book reveals the foundations of Mary's
long standing process that has resulted in her lifetime of
success as a professional watercolor artist. |

03/18/17: As of today
search engine text returns for this page have stalled in the top 20, but
given the Sugar Loaf University Ph.D. Program in Studio Arts is the only true Ph.D. Program in Studio Arts (proven by
searching for either PhD Program in Studio Arts or Ph.D. Program in Studio
Arts inside of quotes reveals this is the only page which will be returned),
it behooves me to put a few more instances of the character string here.
That is exactly what this paragraph accomplishes. Image returns for PhD
Program in Studio Arts or Ph.D. Program in Studio Arts without quotes have
already been returning this page as 1, 2, 3 for some time. Only bots have
been hitting this page in any case which proves the market for such programs
is very small though institutions still pad their returns by misdirecting
interested students to their own significantly different programs.
03/23/17: Ok, the
paragraph above worked, and one of the Sugar Loaf University Ph.D. Program
in Studio Arts return types is now in the top 10, so
another mention of my big two search goals (Sugar Loaf University PhD Program in Studio Arts
and Sugar Loaf University
Ph.D. Program in Studio Arts) couldn't hurt! Further explanation is best
left for inclusion in the Ph.D. program itself.
