UIUC’s BFA Sculpture program transforms metal, wood, clay, light, and code into critical inquiries about space, body, and ecology. Students weld in the expansive Metal Shop, cast bronze in the foundry, mill biomaterials with CNC routers, and script interactive kinetics on Arduino. Visiting sculptors, theorists, and fabricators stretch conceptual range, while curatorial partnerships give undergrads public-art commissions across campus and downtown Urbana. Graduates carve careers in museum installation, fabrication studios, XR environments, and MFA research that reimagines how objects occupy the world.
