About the course

The MFA in Studio Arts represents the culmination of academic training in the visual arts. Alongside exemplary production skills within a given medium, our graduate students develop sophisticated understandings of the conceptual underpinnings of their work, of the social significance of their activities, and of the historical lineage and antecedents of their ideas. Housed in the Faculty of Fine Arts?one of North America?s largest and most respected schools for graduate fine arts study?the MFA program appeals to practicing artists who wish to refine personal content and forms through critical inquiry. Challenge yourself in a studio-oriented environment in the three-year disciplinary program, distributed among seven concentrations: Fibres and Materials Practices, Intermedia, Painting and Drawing, Photography, Print Media, and Sculptures and Ceramics. You will be encouraged to reflect on tradition, experiment with new materials and technologies, develop interdisciplinary collaborations, and explore shifting modes of exhibition and intervention. Your position as a professional artist will be strengthened in a self-directed process that will also prepare you for the multiple roles in contemporary art practice including teaching, curating, criticism, publishing and research.
