How to Apply

Catalyze social change through the arts. This interdisciplinary, non-certification master of arts program prepares artists, educators, designers, community organizers, and other publicly situated activists to work within community-based settings, museums, NGOs, or broader public and civic contexts. You’ll take courses in contemporary artistic practice, educational theory, and social activism, and work with practicing artists and educators in community-based and neighborhood settings around New York City, examining how art and design can open dialogue about a community’s history, culture, and social needs.
