Download as PDF

The Sculpture program curriculum supports your participation in critical discourse and the development of interdisciplinary research modes that actively support varied ways of working and thinking. Here you also have access to advanced technologies, and we encourage you to pursue social and alternative practices.

MFA candidates engage in two years of intensive individual research and creative activity while at RISD. During the spring of the first year, you may also propose a self-designed course, with the possibility of teaching it during the five-week Wintersession.
