Practice What We Teach

2 sided brochure (insert)

Insight: MA + DD students want a program that emphasizes both the practical and theoretical directly in the curriculum, one that clearly articulates deliverables in terms of education and outcomes, and a tool that easily visualizes their experience to better understand ROI.

Concept: A brochure insert that clearly showcases curricular highlights and links the program structure directly to student successes.

Copy: PRACTICE WHAT WE TEACH

SFAI’s Master of Arts (MA) Programs challenge emerging scholars to think critically about contemporary art and provide a strong foundation for future practice as scholars, curators, and arts administrators. With only 6 units now required per semester in the second and final year (36 units total), students can take advantage of boundless opportunities to deepen their individual practice and create networks in the broader art world. MA scholars work alongside and in collaboration with artists in SFAI’s renowned MFA program.

THE PROGRAM’S NEW STRUCTURE IS COST EFFECTIVE AND ENABLES STUDENTS TO:
+ Focus on thesis research and writing
+ Seek outside employment or internships in the vibrant Bay Area arts community
+ Pursue independent scholarly or curatorial projects

MA IN EXHIBITION AND MUSEUM STUDIES

More expansive than a curatorial program, Exhibition and Museum Studies(EMS) consider show socioeconomic, political, and cultural contexts affect the production and presentation of visual phenomena. Crucial to this program is inquiry into how exhibitions serve as sites for artistic experimentation in the public sphere and become formations of contemporary art.

MA IN HISTORY AND THEORY OF CONTEMPORARY ART
This program challenges students to situate artistic practice both historically and in relation to contemporary discourse and politics. By doing so, students continually re-examine the discipline of art history through new research, methodologies, and interpretations.

DUAL DEGREE (MA/MFA) PROGRAMS

SFAI’s three-year Dual Degree MA/MFA Programs offer a unique chance to combine academic investigation with studio practice. With only 6 units now required per semester in the third year (72 units total), the Dual Degree is a rigorous yet flexible platform for experimentation and original research. As in the MA Programs, this new structure is more cost effective and enables deep engagement with both individual research/writing projects and the dynamic Bay Area arts landscape.
