The TOCA Program in France at the Leo Marchutz School of Painting and Drawing is a customized two-week interdisciplinary study abroad program. During the program, participants will immerse themselves in the daily practice of painting and drawing, both in the studio and in the landscapes of the South of France.

Students will also take part in discussion-based art criticism seminars, day trips to surrounding areas (including coastal towns along the Mediterranean Sea and nearby sites associated with Cézanne), workshops in creative writing, and French language instruction—either survival or conversational, depending on their level. Additional academic and cultural activities round out the experience.

This interdisciplinary program is designed to connect all activities into one collaborative process, helping students see more deeply into the world—and into themselves.
