Studying Sculpture at BU<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture at Boston University School of Visual Arts (BU SVA) is a two-year, studio-intensive program that focuses on catalyzing and amplifying students\u2019 creative work within the context of an ongoing and immersive critical discourse. Students work across the broadest possible range of fabrication techniques and material production, as well as exploring cross-disciplinary and genre-defying creative possibilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sculpture shares material, process, language, technology, and history with aspects of our social and physical infrastructure and can offer direct access to the complex questions and problems embedded within both.  Using this sense of immediate connection to the world as a point of departure, the Sculpture MFA at BU offers a challenging yet supportive environment for artists who actively envision new potentials for the future of art itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hallmarks of our program are intimacy and intensity.  In addition to regular studio visits with SVA\u2019s core graduate faculty, students have extensive one-on-one contact with numerous internationally renowned visiting artists, curators, writers, and critics.  Weekly group critiques, thematic seminar courses, professional symposia, technical workshops, and field trips add to the wide-ranging and immersive conversation that forms the basis of the department\u2019s studio culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MFA program in Sculpture at BU remains committed to providing a platform for the incorporation of highly distinctive voices from social, economic, cultural, and geographic positions consistently under-represented within the field of contemporary art.  Our curriculum is designed to balance intensive critical conversation and art historical and cultural theory with the flexible and uniquely intimate studio-driven discourse informed by the plurality of our students\u2019 individual perspectives.  Students are encouraged to deepen their relationship to their specific areas of interest and to broaden their creative horizons by engaging with the extensive academic, technical, and human resources available within the university community at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city of Boston, with its rich history and diverse culture, provides another important resource for our program. Boston is home to world-class museums and contemporary institutions that attract internationally active artists, curators, and writers. The city hosts a thriving culture of talks and lectures, making the art-academic experience in Boston exceptionally vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
