Department of Art + Art History
The FIU Art + Art History Department is a dynamic center for creativity, scholarship, and innovation. Studio Art majors engage in a wide range of disciplines, developing foundational and advanced skills while exploring new ideas. Art Education students undergo a rigorous curriculum that blends studio practice with teaching theory. Art History students gain the research tools and critical frameworks needed to analyze both historical and contemporary art.
Our interdisciplinary approach encourages collaboration and helps students define their roles as artists, educators, and scholars. A strong sense of community fosters trust, dialogue, and creative growth.
We offer enriching opportunities, including visiting artist seminars, hands-on workshops, and study abroad programs. The department is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) and is a proud member of the National Portfolio Day Association (NPDA).
Located in South Florida, FIU serves a diverse international student body. Our faculty and students actively engage with global art events such as Art Basel, Art Miami, and Art Palm Beach.
