More About Goddard’s MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts program:
Established in 1997, Goddard College’s low-residency MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts program is well suited for mid-career and emerging artists looking to deepen their practice and study in a rigorous interdisciplinary context.
The Master of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts (MFAIA) engages artists from a variety of practices, including visual arts, dance, music, theater, performance art, social practice, design, digital media, and the literary arts, to study in a rigorous interdisciplinary context. Students not only have the opportunity to work across artistic disciplines both individually and in collaboration with peers, but the MFAIA also encourages broader interdisciplinary inquiry, enabling dialogue among art and science, social science, humanities, and other systems of knowledge.
One of the only graduate programs in the world committed to art as a transformational practice, the MFAIA is designed to support artists with diverse life experiences and goals ranging from the social, political, to the aesthetic, spiritual or autobiographical. Our learning community supports the development of a robust lifelong art practice. We envision artmaking as a form of critical thinking, that integrates research and interdisciplinary problem-solving and engages ethically in public contexts.
Each semester begins with an eight-day residency that includes presentations, workshops, exhibits, performances, and other activities by continuing and graduating students, faculty, and guest artists. Visitors have included leaders and innovators from the full range of interdisciplinary and traditional media, including Laurie Carlos, Pauline Oliveros, Rick Lowe, Linda Montano, Jackie Brookner, Liz Lerman, Tim Miller, Haruko Okano, Keith Hennessy, Magdalena Gomez, Reggie Wilson, Susan Leibovitz Steinman, and Archie Shepp.
Faculty biographies are available on our website.
