The Open Media concentration of the MFA in Studio Arts program is grounded historically and intellectually in a tradition of art production that is hybrid in character.

The program provides a venue for diverse practices including performance art, installation, video and electronic art. Integrating theory and practice from diverse sources – including the Humanities, Sciences and Creative Arts – you will chart your course beyond singular disciplines and particular mediums while engaging with social, political, ecological and gender-based issues. The diversity of student interests and methodologies encourages the overall interdisciplinary atmosphere of this area of concentration.
