The graduate residency program at SCAD-Lacoste provides a unique forum for self-directed study and artistic engagement. Designed to support and encourage graduate-level students, the program is committed to the production of high-quality work and thought-provoking discourse within a small, nurturing community. Participants work independently in studios, convene regularly with resident faculty and meet with distinguished visiting artists. Group critiques, lectures and regional excursions further enhance the experience.

Activities outside the classroom include faculty lectures, workshops and exhibitions, as well as visits to artist ateliers, museums and historic sites in the area. At the end of each quarter, students have an opportunity to exhibit their work at a local vernissage.

In the mild spring, summer and autumn seasons, opportunities abound for outdoor recreational activities such as hiking, biking and swimming. The ease of village life at Lacoste is balanced by frequent excursions to the nearby cultural centers of Avignon, Aix, Arles and Marseilles, as well as trips to larger cities such as Paris.

All faculty at SCAD-Lacoste are full-time SCAD professors from Savannah or Atlanta who travel to France as part of the SCAD-Lacoste residential program.
