Parsons Fine Arts BFA students are exposed to a wide range of innovative studio practices through our interdisciplinary program and our renowned Visiting Artist Lecture Series. Students not only learn traditional techniques but are supported in working innovatively and pushing the boundaries of what contemporary art can be. Parsons Fine Arts provides a potent learning community through its commitment to diversity amongst faculty and students. Housed within both Parsons School of Design and The New School University, the Fine Arts program is uniquely positioned within a progressive educational environment. Research and scholarship are a fundamental part of our curriculum and are reflected in our students’ ability to critically consider their practice within a global context.
