Department Summary

Situated within a nationally recognized research institution, the
Department of Art attracts students and faculty who value the study
of studio art in the context of a larger intellectual and critical
environment. Our curriculum reflects a diverse and fluid set of
creative practices and critical methodologies. Students engage in
broad and interdisciplinary approaches, as well as depth within
specific media and practices. A robust visiting lecture series,
bringing 10-15 artists, critics, and curators to campus each year,
complements the curriculum. Nationally and internationally active,
the faculty thrive on making connections between their individual
studio practices and teaching. While we have diverse backgrounds,
philosophies, and approaches, we have a strong commitment to a
collective mission and a shared governance model.

The University of Oregon supports the Department of Art faculty by
providing private dedicated studio spaces and a fund for
professional development. Additionally, the Pacific Northwest and
the state of Oregon have a vibrant range of accessible funding,
opportunities, and resources for artists. The UO art and design
degrees are accredited by the National Association of Schools of
Art and Design.
