Primary Purpose of Organizational Unit
The Department of Art & Art History is a dynamic center for research, teaching, and learning within the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It includes Art History and Studio Art, and has 20 full-time faculty and 7 staff members. The Department supports BA, BFA, and MFA degrees in Studio Art, and BA, MA and joint MA/MSLS and PhD degrees in Art History. Our mission statement make/frame/reveal encapsulates both the history and practice sides of the department: we celebrate and embrace experiential strategies, contextual understanding, diverse viewpoints, new insights, and innovative approaches. As an interdisciplinary combination of makers and interpreters, investigators of the present and the past, we are poised to address some of the most pressing social and cultural issues of our time-technology, globalization, politics, ecology, memory, identity, economics, ideology-in all their complexity. Art is a laboratory for experimentation, examination, analysis, and engagement. The Department’s breadth of expertise, methodology, and experience makes it a place for critical thinking, for challenging students to be curious, inventive, thoughtful, and courageous not only to reach new heights, but remake the very standards of success.
