Graduate Program in Contemporary Art

Format: Campus

Program Description:

The programme in Contemporary Art provides an in-depth analysis of works of art from the post-war period to today. Emphasis is given to the objects themselves, and how one approaches and interprets art of this period. In addition to lectures and seminars, study visits include weekly visits to galleries, museums and private collections in New York and further afield, both nationally and internationally.

The programme aims to enable students to combine academic prowess with professional skills in order to prepare them for a successful career in the arts. Students learn about all genres of contemporary art including painting, sculpture, time-based and new media, as well as performance and ephemeral work.

This dynamic program, like its partner programme in London, prepares graduates to pursue a variety of careers in the art world, from working in commercial galleries, private collections, museums and foundations, to establishing their own galleries, to working as curators, appraisors, critics or editors. Our graduates keep in touch via the Institute's Alumni network.
