Master of Fine Arts- Sculpture

Program Description

The Sculpture Program is an open laboratory with strong connections to Houston’s vibrant art communities. Built upon a forty-year history of shaping the regional art community in Southeast Texas, we teach contemporary sculpture as an adaptable, intelligent practice that constantly seeks new forms and ideas. We do this by supporting the material- and labor-intensive aspects of making things designed to live in the physical world and maintaining multiple workshops across two buildings on campus, while simultaneously creating opportunities for our students to engage the more ephemeral and fantastical aspects of the expanded field with recent seminars on topics like Art & Magic and Dirt. The graduate program in sculpture provides the space and critical guidance for developing uniquely personal and critically viable work.  Private studio and access to a wide range of technical facilities affords the opportunity to investigate a variety of sculptural medium. Inter-media and hybrid work is encouraged through contact with a diverse group of faculty, students, visiting artists and critics. Exposure to Houston’s vibrant art community provides exhibition opportunities and real life experience in becoming a professional artist.

MFA candidates have 24-hour access to their own private studios as well as to fabrication facilities in the sculpture area. Support is available to MFA candidates through financial aid, scholarships, internships, assistantships and teaching fellowships.
