The Public Art minor is inactive at this time. The graduate minor in public art (PArt) is an interdisciplinary program designed to expose students to the history of public art, contemporary issues, and current practices. The minor provides students the opportunity to work with instructors and other students with backgrounds in studio arts, design, architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, and public policy to learn collaborative methods essential to public art making and public art administration. Specifically, the minor provides students with a theoretical basis to both understand and produce public art projects. The minor includes a set of core courses in public art history, current issues and criticisms, and public engagement.
