专业介绍

MFA students at Stamps join a supportive and critically engaged community of artists, designers, and scholars. Drawing on the resources and expertise of both Stamps and the broader University of Michigan research community, students create interdisciplinary work that manifests in a wide variety of contexts, making an impact in both artistic venues and unconventional spaces. Students develop work that is both materially sophisticated and conceptually rigorous, and the research-based art curriculum challenges them to consider not only the work they are making but also the field(s) in which their practice is embedded and with which it is in dialogue. Through funded travel opportunities, students think critically about what it means to be an artist working across diverse sites, communities, and institutions. Graduates of the program thrive in a range of professional arts contexts and emerge as cultural leaders in a rapidly changing international artistic landscape. Many go on to exhibit nationally and internationally in major museums and galleries, secure tenure-track positions at leading arts and research institutions, create large scale public-art commissions, and work as cultural producers within prominent arts organizations.
