About Art Studio
Department of Art and Art History

Art Studio, part of the Department of Art and Art History at UC Davis, offers B.A. and M.F.A. degrees in Studio Art. 

The Art Studio program is designed to deliver a broad range of hands-on studio practices to the art major. Areas of focus include painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, ceramics, printmaking, and time-based media. Students are encouraged to explore a broad range of disciplines and are expected to take advantage of beginning classes which provide a critical introduction to the research possibilities within the major. In addition to studio classes, students may participate in a distinguished visiting artist lecture series, professional practice seminars, student exhibitions, competitions and internships. 

See Academics for details about our courses of study and People to learn more about our faculty, graduate students, and staff. Check our Resources pages for information about our facilities, including the Basement Gallery, a student-run gallery featuring the work of our students. The Art Studio Program has teaching facilities for drawing, ceramic sculpture, painting, photography, printmaking, video, and sculpture.
