Depends on intensity.

Boston Ballet, Jeannette Neill, Arthur Murray, Topf Center for Dance, SuperShag....

Do you think art students who attend school in Boston have a higher chance in finding more activities than.?

Attending a college in a suburb like Newton Center? Do you think they have a higher chance in finding/attending more artistic events accidently/intentionally when they're in Boston than on the outskirts of the city? and Why/how? What are some activities that you've participated in/around/near Boston? Did it cost money or was it free? What are the benefits of attending schools/university/colleges in Boston than near the city? Do you think there are more high quality/well known art stores that have what you are looking for in Boston? Do you think the social life is better in the city than a suburb and why?

Newton is so close to Boston that, in reality, it often feels like a part of the city. You're tied in by the green line on the T, so that helps. But with that said, it would likely be easier for you to find more art-related activities in Boston than you will in Newton. However, that doesn't mean you have to live in Boston. It does, however, mean that you'll probably be spending a lot of time in there. It probably would be easier for you to live and go to school in Boston than in Newton, if this is a concern. But again, Newton isn't exactly far from the city. And there's no guarantee that, even if you go to school in Boston, you won't end up living in an apartment in Newton (or a town like it.) :LOL:

Some of the art schools in Boston have ties to the MFA, the ICA, and other art institutions. Thus you'd be able to get into those for free. Also, many, if not most, of the events on campus will be free to you, or of very low cost.

For access to the MFA and ICA, I prefer Mass Art and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts. They're right next door to the MFA, and a short T trip away from the ICA and the gallaries of Newbury Street. The MFA runs some fabulous programs, and I haven't been back to see the new ICA yet, but I've heard raves.

The better art stores are in Boston. Pearl, which I think is in Cambridge, is one of the best. You'll probably get a discount at at least one of the art stores with your student ID. They'll tell you about this when you start class.

As for social life, a lot of that depends on which school you'll be attending, rather than its location in Boston v. Newton.

I don't know which schools you are considering, so I can't talk about them. If you can tell me which ones, I can probably be quite specific.

I am looking for 1 year degree programs, something like a Masters or general design and arts degree course, I've already finished my studies in Architecture and I would like a great promgram to study and take courses on design and arts in NY or in Boston, recomendations?

Some of the best art and design schools in the US are in NYC, and there are some excellent ones in Boston as well. I recommend you look at the following (depending on your specific area of focus, of course):

Massachusetts College of Art
The School of the Museum of Fine Arts
New York University (film, animation, time-based arts)
The School of the Visual Arts
Parsons
The Pratt Institute
Yale (in New Haven, CT - sort of near NYC. Sort of.)
The Fashion Institute of Technology

And one of the best art schools in the US - I'd argue possibly the best - is in Providence, RI. That's about an hour from Boston. The Rhode Island School of Design. A very, very strong school.

I'm not sure which of these offer one-year, post-graduate programs, so you'll have to check their websites. I know that the Museum School does. I believe that the School of Visual Arts does.

You may also be interested in the Art Students League of NY. They don't offer degree programs, but they are a long-established, very well respected art program.
