The MFA Fine Arts Department at the School of Visual Arts reflects the diversity of New York City’s many art worlds. Together, the faculty and students form a community of established and emerging artists who work across disciplines and modes of practice. Our main goals are to provide a stimulating and supportive environment in which students can thrive and develop as artists, to foster rigorous critical engagement with contemporary art and other cultural forms, and to produce an ongoing conversation, through work as much as through words, about what we make, how we make it and why.
This year’s lecture series focuses on our remarkable faculty. With the exception of six visitors, all of the speakers listed below currently teach in the MFA Fine Arts Department at SVA.
Lectures are free and open to the public, start at 7pm, and take place at 136 West 21st Street, Room 418F, New York, NY 10011.
