This year, the MFA programs in Art, Photography and Media, and Art and Technology at California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) take their collective exhibitions online.
In CalArts’ School of Art, students are invited to question accepted ideas about contemporary art. Its MFA programs prepare graduates to thoughtfully challenge the prevailing conventions of artistic expression, develop new forms, and become innovators and leaders in their fields.
A forum for the sustained exploration of possibilities in cultural production, the program in Art challenges students to question conventional ideas about contemporary art. Photography and Media is dedicated to artists interested in engaging in critical conversations in relation to how images shape contemporary culture, and building technical and formal skills with which to expand the possibilities of lens-based work. Students in the Art and Technology program are asked to interrogate the relationship between technology and arts by incorporating innovation, multiple disciplines, and diverse cultures into their creative process.
CalArts’ two-year MFA programs offer critical feedback from cross-disciplinary faculty members and guest artists. Faculty work with students to strengthen their individual work, within and across a wide range of media, including painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, digital imaging, sculpture, installation, video, film, writing, and performance. In CalArts’ community of artists, students learn different strands of process and critique, learning to build as well as deconstruct as they uncover new ways to shape the physical world, and, by extension, the political and social realities within.
