MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts

Practicum

Inspired by a broad range of contemporary art practice, the low residency MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts practicum requirement allows students to explore new possibilities to live and work in the world beyond the exhibitions and performances by which Western artists conventionally present their work to an audience. The practicum is an opportunity to combine knowledge, skills, vision, and perspective within new contexts, communities, or collaborative initiatives, and in the process, enhance and expand artistic perspective.
