Overview

Key features

The Sculpture program at State University of New York at New Paltz provides students with a broad foundation of technical, conceptual, critical, and professional skills to facilitate the execution of their ideas and careers.

The Sculpture Faculty encourage an interdisciplinary approach and the sculpture curriculum reflects the expansive breadth of media, techniques, content and contexts inherent within contemporary sculpture practice. Courses are offered in installation art, site-specific and situational sculpture, time-based media, kinetics and electronics, and sound, as well as traditional sculpture processes such as casting, welding/ metal fabrication, and material investigations.

Students have ample opportunity to further their professional skills and research with internships and fieldwork projects within the abundant local art resources both in the Hudson Valley and nearby New York City. Similarly, students are uniquely situated within the context of a liberal arts university to inform their practice through other areas of study and art studio electives.

The Sculpture faculty invite students that are willing to challenge the conventions and parameters of the field while articulating their unique vision through experimentation, inquiry, rigorous making, and risk taking.
