UIUC’s BFA Painting program fosters fearless image-makers who experiment across oils, digital pigments, and bio-based dyes. Individual studios, visiting-artist critiques, and theory seminars cultivate voices that traverse abstraction, figuration, and social commentary. Students curate shows in Urbana pop-ups, collaborate with scientists on climate-data murals, and secure residencies globally. Graduates navigate gallery circuits, public-art commissions, and interdisciplinary MFA pathways.
