Over the past decade, visual arts specialties in public, social, and community-based arts have fostered invigorated global debate in the visual arts and have contributed to a growing interest in how artists of many disciplines relate to the public realm.The Otis College of Art and Design's MFA in Graduate studies: Public Practices allos 8 to 10 graduate students per year to select and emphasis based on their specific interests, but its interdiscipinary program of highly individualize study specialises in a rigorous and simultaneous developement of both theory and practice. This pogram will allow a small and select group of students desiring to work intensely and collaboratively, with a high level of faculty mentorship, on new genre artistic projects that are motivated, informed, and shaped by places, issues and audiences.
