Post-Graduate Certificate in Visual Art & Masters of Art Diploma in Visual Art

SRISA offers both a 4 month long Post-Graduate Certificate in Visual Art and an 8 month long Post-Graduate Masters Diploma in Visual Art. Both offer participants the opportunity to work in a professional environment and help artists make the transition from a structured academic curriculum to an established working practice.

Participants in the Certificate program will take part in a four month long curriculum dedicated to studio work, intense critique, art theory, portfolio seminar, and the staging of a a collaborative exhibition. Participants pursuing the eight month Masters Diploma, will follow a similar curriculum for the first four months. The result of which will be the proposal of a masters thesis which they will develop over the course of the second half of the program culminating in a solo exhibition and written thesis.

All students are provided with a shared studio space and are paired with a practicing artist-mentor to provide valuable feedback. Through studio visits and lectures all will have the opportunity to meet professional artists working in a range of media. Every student having completed either course of study will have consolidated their work into a specialized artist’s portfolio that will allow them to embark on their careers as skilled and highly organized professional artists.
