Overview

The Sculpture programme at the University of Georgia provides a rigorous environment for students to explore the making of objects and the transformation of space. This curriculum balances a deep respect for the history of the medium with a forward-looking approach to contemporary artistic production and critical reception.

Students engage in a sustained investigation of diverse materials, ranging from wood and metal to casting and digital computing. The academic framework encourages participants to consider the expanded field of art, including site-specific installations, video, performance, and physical computing, ensuring a well-rounded creative education.

The learning experience is deeply rooted in both technical skill application and professional practice.

Why Sculpture at the University of Georgia?

Students benefit from the Thomas Street Art Complex, a massive 16,000-square-foot industrial warehouse located near downtown. This facility serves as a dedicated community hub for makers, featuring a foundry, comprehensive wood and metal shops, and a specialized computer lab equipped with CNC routers and 3D printers.

The environment supports ambitious and experimental work through a devoted student project space. This allows for large-scale exhibitions and collaborative ventures. Furthermore, the school provides unique opportunities for interdisciplinary projects, such as those blending art with engineering and music, alongside access to a prestigious visiting artist lecture series.
