The department is expanding its Global Arts Studio curriculum in Africa, China, and Europe in collaboration with Global Education. Cross-School initiatives at NYU include collaborations with Steinhardt’s Culture and Communication Department, Stern School of Business, and Tisch School of the Arts. We also offer courses in partnership with major cultural institutions in the city, including the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the International Center for Photography, and the Urban Glass Workshop in Brooklyn.

Community based initiatives in studio art, art education, and art therapy allow students and faculty to connect with diverse collaborators in urban New York and across the globe. Students also engage with the city through an extended network for internships and field placements with outstanding artists, museums, galleries, art publishers, art-related organizations, art teachers, and art therapists.
