Studio Art

The Studio program offers close collaboration with faculty alongside the vibrant Los Angeles art scene. We offer a broad range of studio courses in painting, printmaking, sculpture, bookmaking, drawing, installation, photography, and interdisciplinary arts.

Students regularly exhibit their work in Oxy’s three galleries, and create site-specific installations on campus and beyond. Students study painting and drawing in three light-filled lofts; printmakers enjoy access to valuable vintage lithography stones alongside digital printmaking technologies; and sculpture students extend their work from indoors to out in the Hodgetts and Fung architect-designed loft studio, gallery, welding, and woodshops. 



The widely exhibiting studio faculty regularly integrate the Los Angeles museum and gallery offerings into the course curriculum. Studio art majors intern at the city’s premier contemporary art institutions, including MoCA, the RedCat Gallery, Outpost for Contemporary Art, and LACMA. Students studying studio art in Oxy’s liberal art context are highly competitive for grants, undergraduate research opportunities, study abroad, and advanced graduate study at the nation’s top art and research institutions.
