Research & creation
Our faculty of practicing artists go beyond the methodologies that artists embrace while creating work. Concordia’s supportive environment offers the spaces for reflection, innovation and examination – culminating in artworks that shape the cultural debate on the national and international stage.
Studio Arts fosters a new understanding of academic research that values the distinct methodologies artists embrace in making. Faculty members conduct a broad range of research-creation, making Concordia a place of exploring potential and furthering the long tradition of artists pushing the envelope and actively shaping cultural debate on the national and international stage.
