Introduction
Moore’s Socially Engaged Arts degree programs bring together artists and organizers in the same space to critically and pragmatically engage in the discourses and practices concerned with art’s relationship to place, collaboration, ethics, material, and interdisciplinary research.
We are concerned with the role, history, and potential of art in relationship to society. Through our classes, public programs, community partnerships, symposia, and the work of our renowned students and faculty, we are making our way through the world, asking challenging questions together.
We offer a two-year MFA in Socially Engaged Studio Art and a one-year MA in Socially Engaged Art. Moore BFA students in any major (other than Art Education) who choose to enrol in the 4+1 program can receive their MA in Socially Engaged Art in just one additional year.
