The Sound Art Program seeks artists who have a deep engagement with sound as a creative medium and a desire to join a diverse community of artists and musicians. Our students have the freedom to explore work in sculpture, video, and ceramics as well as new media, performance, and conceptual strategies while focusing on the integration of sound with such media. The two-year program is offered in association with the Department of Music and the Computer Music Center and leads to the Master of Fine Arts in Visual Arts awarded by the School of the Arts.
The program is highly selective and only offers admission to three or four students each year. Since the program’s founding in 2013, our alumni have gone on to create major installations at world renowned galleries, score feature films, compose for world-class ensembles and pursue PhD research in art practice, composition, music theory, computer music, and music perception.
