The Interdisciplinary Sculpture Department strives to educate students on a broad range of creative possibilities within the material, spatial, and time-based arts. Grounded in existing sculptural disciplines, we believe in the importance of using history and theory as a method to forge new and experimental definitions of sculpture. Our mission is to equip students with a breadth of experience and a depth of understanding that can be drawn upon throughout their professional, personal, and civic lives.
