So you want to study ART...
If a career in art is what you are looking for, it's important to do some research into what form of art you want to study, which degree you will want in the end...
(BFA, BA, Certificate, MFA...etc.)
AND where you should go to get it.
An art program at a university OR an art school?
Portfolio or no portfolio - it takes time and planning.
When looking at various options, keep in mind that some for-profit art schools/institutes might not offer financial aid. RESEARCH your options.
