Vanderbilt University

The department of art offers a rigorous, socially minded, and research-driven curriculum. Students engage in an immersive laboratory of fearless experimentation and challenge the rapidly expanding role of art in our society.

Through radical methodologies and trans-disciplinary thinking, students utilize a range of artistic disciplines in a state-of-the-art facility.  Equal emphasis is placed on both individual and collective exploration, where students are encouraged to develop relationships across the university and broader communities.

Department of art students are engaged citizens who are taught to be risk-takers that are ethically responsible, politically minded, and creative problem solvers. They take on the complexities of the 21st century, including issues of justice, equality, environment, diversity and peace.
