    Gallery of MFA in Visual Arts Faculty Artwork

    The interdisciplinary focus of the MFA in Visual Arts low-residency program encourages students to explore the integration of a variety of visual arts media. Our extensive critique structure during the residencies, coupled with the guidance of our internationally known faculty and studio mentors during each semester, facilitates the cultivation of a broad network of art world dialogues/contacts within the student’s home environment and beyond.
