Deadlines are December 15 (Vermont) and March 11 (Washington). Established in 1997, Goddard College's low-residency MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts is a unique program well suited for mid-career and emerging artists who are looking to deepen their practice, blend theory and practice, and study in a rigorous interdisciplinary context. With notable and innovative faculty and guest artists from the full spectrum of forms, genres, cultures, and socio-political perspectives, the Goddard MFAIA continues to attract, inspire, and transform artists, educators, and cultural workers at all levels. Goddard's progressive pedagogy of individually designed study plans, collaborative learning, and geographical flexibility supports all manner of artists and practices, such as dancer-choreographers expanding into theatrical or visual modes, painters working with digital media or natural materials to address environmental issues, and countless other contemporary or traditional practitioners looking to integrate multiple artistic media and systems of knowledge and expression.

Each semester begins with an eight-day residency that includes presentations, workshops, exhibits, performances, and other activities by continuing and graduating students, faculty, and guest artists. Our visiting artists have included leaders and innovators from the full range of interdisciplinary and traditional media, including: Pauline Oliveros, Rick Lowe, Linda Montano, Jackie Brookner, Liz Lerman, Tim Miller, Haruko Okano, Keith Hennessy, Reggie Wilson, and Susan Leibovitz Steinman. The residency is followed by 15 weeks of production, research, and study wherever the student chooses to live. A third semester practicum tests new forms and concepts in each student's work, while a final semester portfolio serves as a culminating thesis and establishes greater artistry, critical meaning, and social engagement in each graduate's practice and career. FacultyAdvisors work in a range of interdisciplinary and traditional modes, including installation, dance, painting, performance art, mixed media, poetry, community-based and public art, creative writing, theatre, puppetry, media/digital art, photography, music, eco-art, and conceptual art, and are scholars or critical practitioners in interdisciplinary studies, performance studies, visual culture, sustainability, social justice, and a range of other fields.
