What is IDSVA
IDSVA offers a research-based, non-studio PhD in Visual Arts: Philosophy, Aesthetics, and Art Theory for artists and creative thinkers. Our innovative curriculum explores the deeply intertwined relations between the history of ideas and theories related to different art forms and practices.
IDSVA has been pioneering and refining blended education since 2007. Online coursework and independent studies are pursued through the fall and spring semesters, via live video conference seminars, one-on-one phone calls, and asynchronous discussions. Summer and Winter intensive residencies in places like Mexico City, Madrid, and Marrakech alternate with online seminars and give IDSVA students a graduate education experience like no other.
