ABOUT THE FACULTY

We aspire to be a model of excellence in the realm of Fine Arts education. We will achieve this through collective development of approaches to learning, research, creation, and professional practice. In doing so, we empower our community to become catalysts for positive change, and leaders towards a more sustainable and inclusive future. Diversity, accessibility, and innovation resonates throughout all our vibrant programs.

Few schools in North America take as diverse an approach to pedagogical, conceptual, theoretical, and material practices as we do. We place equal value on live performance, historical research, methodological, theoretical, technical experimentation, skills-based production, community fieldwork, as well as traditional and digital fabrication.  

Our galleries and performance venues host hundreds of events every year. These spaces provide opportunities for exposure and learning for our students: They’re home to student exhibitions and productions, festivals, end-of-term concerts, masterclasses, talks and conferences. They are also important spaces for the public to connect our work and to experience local, national and international artists.
