Art

Let your creative side soar in the heart of the art world.

You admire Rembrandt, appreciate Renoir, and love Dali's surrealism, and you have always dreamed of becoming the next celebrated artist, appreciated in your own time. At Brooklyn College, you'll be studying in the center of the art world. For the past 80 years, we have been drawing on a vast community of distinguished art figures for our faculty, and we invite many visiting artists, art historians, critics, and curators to campus to supplement our programs. You'll work in our suite of studios and workrooms, and you'll benefit from our specialized art library. And off campus, you will have easy access to New York's great museums, noted galleries, and lectures and presentations by artists and others from the local art community.

You demand a serious advanced art program, and Brooklyn College delivers.

You're looking to take your art education to the next level, whether it be in drawing and painting, digital art, printmaking, photography, sculpture, or art history. Our graduate program has a host of resources to help you—internationally recognized studio faculty members whose works appear in such prestigious museums as the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, distinguished scholars in art history, our specialized art library, and courses that range from Western to non-Western and contemporary to traditional. We prepare teachers, painters, photographers, critics, archivists, museum curators, cartoonists, and more. You will have easy access to both our on-campus studios and workspaces and New York's great museums and countless galleries. And just before you graduate, you'll show your work in our annual M.F.A. Thesis Exhibition that attracts attendees from all over the tri-state area.
