Master of Fine Arts in Sound Arts

A joint initiative between the Visual Arts Program in the School of the Arts and the Computer Music Center in the Department of Music, the Sound Art MFA is a two-year program that is highly selective, offering admission to only three or four students each year. Prospective students with a deep engagement with sound as a creative medium and a desire to join a diverse community of artists and musicians are encouraged to apply. Sound Art students pursue creative work in a variety of genres and focus on the integration of sound with other media. The Sounds Art MFA is a studio-based degree awarded by the Visual Arts Program and students have the freedom to explore work in sculpture, video, and ceramics as well as new media, performance, and conceptual strategies. The Sound Art program is the only graduate sound art degree in New York City. Situated in a vibrant international art scene, students have access to world-class art institutions such as MoMA, the Whitney, the New Museum, the Studio Museum of Harlem, and the Guggenheim, as well as independent gallery spaces and outdoor public sites in close proximity to Columbia. Conversations about local exhibitions and performances enrich the discussion of the contemporary practice of sound in artistic practice. Individual studio visits with the Director, faculty, visiting artists, sound theorists, and curators facilitate dialogue and reveal multiple readings of students’ work. Students develop their practice in a multi-perspectival, interactive, and supportive environment that encourages them to conceive and discuss their own work, articulate their artistic ideas, and develop an awareness of how their work is situated within the context of various histories, disciplines, and practices.
