Visual Arts

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 requirements of our specialized areas. Additionally, the photography area has black and white darkrooms, and the media area maintains audio and video recording and editing facilities with the latest software programs.

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, alumni, faculty, and staff. All exhibits are free and open to the public.
