The Art Practice program offers a low-residency, interdisciplinary approach to an MFA degree.
Artists in the program engage in research-based practices, and are encouraged to converse and collaborate across subject matters using a combination of traditional and non-traditional media, technologies and techniques. We aim to create a global community of artists and cultural producers who look beyond a consensus driven approach to how we define what’s important in contemporary art.
To that end, a carefully selected, small group of MFA candidates come together at SVA’s NYC campus for three successive, intensive summer residency periods where they have the opportunity to work closely with artists, designers, writers, critics and curators.
We approach artmaking holistically: MFA Art Practice students are not defined or separated by medium or discipline. We view process as a kind of critical thinking.
Faculty members include: Angel Abreu, Xavier Acarín Wieland, Gaelyn and Gustavo Aguilar, Haseeb Ahmed, Robin Cembalest, Jeremy Cohan, Deanna Evans, Lia Gangitano, Beatrice Glow, Thyrza Nichols Goodeve, Katya Grokhovsky, Allison Hewitt Ward, Miatta Kawinzi, Iviva Olenick, Phil Rabovsky, Stefan Saffer, Heather Schatz, Sarah G. Sharp, Jovana Stokic, Jacquelyn Strycker, Keioui Keijuan Thomas, Nicolas Touron and Andrew Woolbright.
