Study at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy (GRA) provides a valuable opportunity for studio arts majors to pursue a semester focused on studio work. In addition to the normal proposal materials, students must submit a résumé and portfolio of slides or on CD-ROM with a short personal statement describing the program of study they would like to pursue and their reasons for pursuing study at GRA. Students must also submit a video discussing the contents of their portfolio and their reasons for selecting the works included in the portfolio. This video replaces the face-to-face interview normally required of all GRA applicants.
