This course provides a comprehensive grounding in the practical and theoretical aspects of contemporary art and design. The theoretical component of the course instils an appreciation of both contemporary and historical perspectives applicable to contemporary art practice, curatorial practice and other careers in the arts industry. Students develop their skills working in well equipped, purpose-built studios for painting, printmaking, ceramics and sculpture, digital arts and design, and drawing. They work under the guidance of academic staff, many of whom are active in the contemporary arts industry, and exhibit in the Graduate Exhibition. The Lismore campus is a cultural hub at the centre of the dynamic arts scene of the Northern Rivers. Graduates have featured in some of Australia’s most prestigious arts awards and had their work regularly featured in commercial and public galleries nationally and internationally.
