A picture is worth a thousand words—and judging by the photographs sent to us by winter 2025 study abroad travelers, the snapshots from these trips could fill a novel. Check out these three Study Abroad trips—and pictures—in this School of the Art Institute of Chicago magazine feature.
In this unforgettable trip to Peru, the class dove into the rich world of South American textile traditions and explored art as a bridge between cultures. They connected with local traditions in meaningful ways—plus, they got to explore Machu Picchu.
In this busy two-week trip, students explored the city's art scene, from artist studios and residencies to cutting-edge galleries and major museums—including visits to see the work of Rashid Johnson (SAIC 2003-04, HON 2018) and Jeff Koons (SAIC 1975–76, HON 2008).
From the world-class galleries of Mumbai to the 8th-12th century cave temples of Elephanta, this class explored India's dynamic art scene. Along the way, they engaged in hands-on workshops, studio visits, and meaningful conversations with artists working outside traditional gallery spaces.
