The Master of Fine Arts facilities at PNCA provide private studio spaces as well as a shared community environment. While graduate students engage in independent studio investigation, they also meet as a group for critique seminars and on-campus activities. The critique seminar class allows students to engage in ongoing critical dialogue around their own work and the work of fellow students. This class combines critique, readings and a visiting artists program that emphasizes intellectual investigation into the language of visual studies.

To apply or for more information, please call PNCA’s Admissions Department (888 390 7499) or visit the PNCA website. Tours for the MFA in Visual Studies are offered Fridays at noon. To schedule a tour, please contact Sean Carney, MFA Program Assistant ([email protected] or 503 821 8893).
