Fine Arts

Via lectures, seminars; personal tutoring, group and individual critique; collective and public projects the programme interrogates how artists may produce and practice and how their works may operate in differing public spheres. Study is supported by workspaces, technical support and access to equipment. We expect you to fully engage with the field of art and its debates and to be informed including through alterity. Our vibrant research culture, public programmes, networks and partnerships support a critical artistic and intellectual community. We are committed to you becoming a strong communicator and advocate for art, its potentials and discontents.Valand Academy is a leader in practice-based PhDs for which this programme is preparatory.
