About the course

Painting is a both a rich and formidable tradition steeped in history, and an evolving, expansive, and dynamic field of activity. Our MFA Program in Painting is pluralistic, and we celebrate the diverse approaches, methodologies, and research interests that enrich and enliven painting. However, you find yourself working, our MFA program will provide you with the time, resources, academic framework and support as you strengthen and refine your painting practice.

　　The structural backbone of our program is an intensive, self-motivated studio investigation, supported by faculty mentoring, critique with visiting artists and critics, and peer-group support. Studio research is supplemented by?a broad range of course and seminar offerings, access to excellent facilities for printmaking, ceramics, wood, metal, and digital fabrication, and internships in Houston?s world-class museums, galleries and alternative spaces.
