About the course

Painting is a medium that defines culture. It is simultaneously the embodiment of tradition and the home of the avant-garde. At SA/VS, we engage with contemporary practices and traditional processes. Painting is a way to bring the imagination to life. It is a forum for sharing ideas and shaping current conversations in visual art. It is a fulcrum point of social and historical contexts and prepares students to not only to realize their visions, but to become courageous voices in contemporary culture.
