The Studio Art & Craft program prepares students who dream of becoming independent and commissioned artists who run a business from their studio as an entrepreneur and independent artists who exhibit their work, teach others, manage art organizations or lead non-profit initiatives. Our program emphasizes the development of creativity and critical thinking skills that can be applied beyond specific disciplines, and graduates will have the expertise and versatility needed to thrive in diverse industries. 

Studio Art & Craft is rooted in the disciplines of ceramics, digital fabrication, digital media, drawing, fibers/textiles, glass, installation, metalsmithing/jewelry, painting, performance, print media and sculpture and combines traditional making with contemporary processes and progressive technologies. Students focus on producing meaningful works of art and/or learning the artisan’s role in designing well-crafted functional form. 

Working alongside internationally recognized faculty who serve as mentors, students also benefit from direct access to extraordinary facilities – allowing them to pursue a focused study in any of the disciplines within Studio Art & Craft, or explore a multi-disciplinary approach that integrates a diverse range of Studio Art & Craft courses and skill development.
