Contemporary Art Practice: Art and Social Practice

About

PSU's Art and Social Practice MFA defines what it means to be an artist in society. In our three-year, flexible-residency program, you'll combine individual research, group work, and experiential learning to find new ways to engage with your art and the community. Our program's blend of critical and professional practice, progressive pedagogy, collaborative social engagement, and transdisciplinary exploration produces an immersive educational experience.

We encourage you to shape the direction of your education as you connect your art practice to research in the field of Social Practice through elective coursework and community partnerships, promoting cross-disciplinary engagement.

Graduating students each produce a public graduate project, a publication exploring a relevant connection to their practice, and a public artist lecture that surveys their work in the program.
