The visual arts department's facilities are in downtown New
Brunswick and on the Livingston Campus in Piscataway. These two campuses house
studio classrooms, computer labs, seminar rooms, lecture halls, and the 4,000-square-foot
Mason Gross Galleries at Civic Square.
Most visual
arts classes meet in the Civic Square Building (CSB), in which there are
project spaces, critique rooms, a lighting studio for students to photograph
artwork, and an intimate reading room with reference books and magazines. CSB's
five computer labs are equipped with workstations, scanners, and printers
tailored to the specific needs of design, photography, media, print, and video.
Additionally, there are color and black-and-white darkrooms, sound and
video recording and editing facilities, a woodshop, and a comprehensive print
workshop.
The Livingston Arts
Building (LAB) houses the department's sculpture facilities, including workshops for
wood, metal, and ceramics. Individual studios, a gallery, and space for
students to work outdoors are also found at LAB.
Studio
spaces for M.F.A. students and some advanced B.F.A. undergraduates are available at
both CSB and LAB.
The spacious Mason
Gross Galleries in the Civic Square Building present exhibitions by students,
faculty, and distinguished outside artists. All exhibits are free and open to
the public.
