UCSC Art Department Welcome to the UC Santa Cruz Art Department page!

The Art Department presents programming in art that builds on the unique intellectual reputation of UCSC as a leader in promoting social justice, ecological thinking, and inventive explorations of the nature/culture interface, and that contributes to this history through the world-transforming potential of creative practice. The department administers an Interdisciplinary Studio Art BA Program supported by all faculty in the art department with affiliated faculty from the Theater Art and Film & Digital Media (FDM) departments. The Art BA program teaches a unique combination of technical skill development and conceptual understanding of contemporary art practices through creative experimentation with a special emphasis on social and environmental art practice. In addition a to the BA program the department supports and contributes to an interdepartmental Digital Arts and New Media MFA Program [DANM] and aims to administer a new interdisciplinary Art MFA program in Environmental Art and Social Practice in 2018.
