Established in 1997, Goddard College's Low-Residency MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts program is well suited for mid-career and emerging artists looking to deepen their practice and study in a rigorous interdisciplinary context.
One of the only graduate programs in the world committed to art as a transformational practice, the MFAIA is designed to support artists with diverse life experiences and goals ranging from the social and political to the aesthetic, spiritual or autobiographical. We envision art-making as a form of critical thinking that integrates research and interdisciplinary problem-solving and engages ethically in public contexts.
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. Visitors have included leaders and innovators from the full range of interdisciplinary and traditional media, including Laurie Carlos, Pauline Oliveros, Rick Lowe, Linda Montano, Jackie Brookner, Liz Lerman, Tim Miller, Haruko Okano, Keith Hennessy, Magdalena Gomez, Reggie Wilson, and Susan Leibovitz Steinman.
Faculty
Vermont faculty include Erica Eaton, Pam Hall, Peter Hocking, Gale Jackson, H. Lan-Thao Lam, Ju-Pong Lin, Devora Neumark, Andrea Parkins, Cynthia Ross, Rachael van Fossen, and Ruth Wallen (program co-director).
