I am trying to weigh the time and money spent in an atelier versus the outcome. Basically, I was wondering if anyone knows the tuition for any of the schools in Minneapolis. We're considering moving there. Since I'm currently in the 'starving artist' part of my life, I need to know if I can afford to go. I would assume its money well spent, but I would like to hear some feedback on this. If you or any artist you know has attended a full-time school, would you say the improvement was quite noticeable? Is it difficult to join since they judge on your portfolio (is there a LOT of competition or is it more of a formality)?
