Our programs guide you through a journey into visual arts, with particular focus on modern artistic expression. Both curricula feature mandatory hands-on and academic components aimed at fostering creativity and critical thinking. The department offers specialized facilities including photography and media art labs (CoFab), plus ample studios for painting, drawing, and sculpture. Located in downtown Ottawa, you'll enjoy proximity to premier cultural institutions like the National Gallery of Canada and Ottawa Art Gallery. You'll also learn from acclaimed artists, curators, art historians, and theorists with national and international reputations. While rooted in classical disciplines (drawing, painting, sculpture, and photography), the department actively supports exploration of emerging media and digital technologies in visual arts.
