The BFA Studio Art program at UIUC is a sandbox where painters code, photographers sculpt, and printmakers hack VR. Students design self-directed pathways that merge traditional craft with emerging tech, supported by critique seminars that foreground global art histories and social justice. Access to fabrication labs, VR caves, letterpress studios, and the Video Game Design Center encourages fearless hybridity. Graduates become multidisciplinary artists, curators, creative-tech developers, and cultural strategists.
