Sculpture

The Sculpture area encourages an experimental and interdisciplinary approach to art making. Our curriculum synthesizes a commitment to the studio and the community, emphasizing the interplay between concept, material and context. The faculty work one on one with graduate students to help develop each individual’s ideas based on individual, historical, and theoretical perspectives. Sculpture faculty represent varied points of view, however each is thoroughly committed to helping develop students into creative, ambitious, and engaged artists.
