About Fine Art MA, MA - at Middlesex University
Overview
The MA Fine Art at Middlesex University enables you to both develop your Fine Art practice, and orientate your art work in relation to London's exciting and thriving international contemporary art scene.
Through a series of guided gallery tours, meetings with curators and other art professionals, you are encouraged to make new work, and identify both contexts and conversations that are relevant to your artistic trajectory. This teaching will be complimented and supported with weekly seminars, developing your own art practice through critical dialogue and the use of Middlesex University's state of the art on campus technical workshop facilities.

The course culminates in an extended in-depth period of artistic development, enabling you to refine your art practice, supporting you in the production of a professional standard body of work and the MA Fine Art exhibition, which will be open to the public.
