Our Global ArtSites programs in Berlin and Ghana allow undergraduate Studio Art majors to work closely with international artists and explore art across continents and cultures. Students in the Global ArtSites program spend a semester at the NYU Berlin ArtSite, and then a semester the following year in Ghana. Both sites provide enhanced facilities and faculty in Studio Art.
About the Berlin ArtSite
In the heart of the city’s most vibrant artistic neighborhood, the Berlin ArtSite includes studios for sculpture, painting, drawing, digital printing, and video. Non-studio courses are offered in interdisciplinary projects and contemporary art. Faculty include renowned artists Trisha Donnelly, Delia Gonzales, Ana Finel Honigman, and John Keckner.
About the Ghana ArtSite
Courses include workshops with African artists in sculpture, weaving, and painting, as well as classes in photography, video, postcolonial theory, and art history. Artist and photographer Lyle Ashton Harris is in residence each fall, working with students and curating exhibitions for the Dei Centre of African Art, where he is Co-Director.
Other NYU study abroad locations include Prague, London, Florence, Madrid, Shanghai, Tel Aviv, Abu Dhabi, Prague, and Buenos Aries, for BFA students who are not interested in applying for the ArtSites Program.
