Overview

The Visual Arts programme is offered at the Brock University. We provide education in two distinct but interconnected streams: Studio Art (STDA) and the History of Art and Visual Culture (HAVC). Studio students take courses.

Key Facts

Visual Arts students take courses in all fine art media, such as painting, photography, drawing, digital media, sculpture, performance art and non-traditional methods of expression. A portfolio is required for applicants to Studio Art. Visit brocku.ca/visual-arts for more information.

As a student, you’ll receive dynamic, personable instruction and mentorship from award-winning faculty, as well as individual guidance. This critical feedback is complemented by unique learning opportunities from internationally acclaimed guest artists to bolster your learning.

Our on-site student gallery gives you opportunities to view art, exhibit your work, and learn the exhibition space’s behind-the-scenes operation. But your learning isn’t confined to the classroom. By studying in the heart of downtown St. Catharines, you will also become part of a community of working artists. You will be given opportunities to create and collaborate during your studies and develop lasting professional connections.

Programme Structure

From drawing and painting to photography and new media in which video and digital resources have become key, the program’s commitment to providing a robust studio experience remains unprecedented.
Our goal is to mentor artists and students as they critically engage with the world at the same time as they create objects, texts and images of quality, integrity and sophistication.
