Overview
The Alfred - Dusseldorf Painting program of Alfred University operates jointly in the School of Art and Design at Alfred University and at our studio facility in Düsseldorf, Germany. Students work with American and European artists and scholars, gaining an international perspective while interacting with art communities on two continents.
Lead the Next Generation of Artists
Through concentrated studio time, significant research opportunities, and mentoring from art world professionals, this program offers a graduate experience that prepares students for leadership roles in the next generation of professional artists and arts practitioners.
International Graduate Experience
This two-year program is anticipated to be highly competitive; seven Painting students are admitted annually. Students spend two semesters at Alfred University's home campus, and two semesters at our studio facility in Düsseldorf Germany. Select teaching assistantships are awarded.
Emphasis on Professional Practices
Applicants must be committed to extended international study and the practice of painting. Graduate students spend three months of each academic year in Düsseldorf engaging in intensive studio work, research, and professional practices. The program encourages a diversity of approaches within the unique language of painting, and fosters critical dialogue addressing contemporary global perspectives.
European and American Educational Models
Düsseldorf has twenty world-class museums and over fifty contemporary art galleries and non-profit exhibition spaces. Visiting artists and critics, studio visits, lectures and field trips to Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels, Cologne, New York City and other nearby collections offer even more opportunities to study work in person.
