ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ

The Pierre Lassonde School of Fine Arts is focused on the research, creation, histories, and practices of the visual arts.  Study in the School of Fine Arts is led by practicing artists and art historians in courses designed and coordinated to establish a strong foundation in all facets of the visual arts.

Our curriculum provides a rigorous, student-centred learning environment that balances intellectual and applied approaches, engaging students in the critical and reflective exploration of contemporary society, communities, and cultures.

Research and creation in the visual arts is integral to the development and expression of cultural identities that can both reflect and challenge the values and norms of our pluralistic society. In a rapidly changing environment, the Pierre Lassonde School of Fine Arts prepares students for these challenges with the skills and abilities that will enable them to find a place in the diverse cultures and values of Canada and the world.

We will be holding information sessions, building tours, and portfolio reviews during the University Open House on Friday, October 18.  Information sessions and building tours will take place in the afternoon.  Scheduled appointment times for Portfolio Reviews are available, and must be pre-booked by emailing finearts@mta.ca .  

If you are unable to come to the university on October 18, virtual portfolio reviews can be arranged by emailing finearts@mta.ca .
