2024 - 2025 | Curriculum | 2-year program
RISD Glass promotes the development of glass in contemporary art and is a leader in preparing artists for careers in this field. MFA students develop a distinctly personal aesthetic through source research, vigorous studio experimentation, regular critiques and a series of graduate seminars on contemporary art theory and criticism. Glass faculty—a highly respected group of practicing artists and dedicated educators—help students to hone practices that demonstrate a deep understanding of both contemporary art issues and the rich history of art and glass.
In addition to group discussions, tutorials and critiques, two core seminars and workshops form the heart of the graduate curriculum. Glass MFA students have the opportunity to pursue courses in areas that complement their work and ideas at both RISD and Brown University.
