MA Fine Art at Chelsea College of Arts offers emerging artists an intensive programme of development to professional practice. Designed to enhance the making, criticality and articulation of your practice, it aims to expand the contextual reach of your works and the audiences for them. The course encourages experimental studio practice and individual inquiry at a professional level.

Throughout the course, you will challenge what art is or could be, how art is communicated or exhibited, and consider how to develop a future-facing, culturally progressive fine art practice. You’ll undertake research to critically explore the local, national and international contexts within which art operates. Developing this contextual awareness will ensure you build a sustainable, audience-aware practice that engages with culturally relevant concerns.

 What to expect

Contextual understanding: Explore contemporary cultural practices and ideas in order to develop a critically engaged and relevant fine art practice.

Intensive practical sessions: Undertake intensive periods of practical development to help you refine your ideas and successfully articulate them to different audiences.

Professional experience: Participate in public events, exhibitions and publications to build your professional experience and portfolio.

International community: Be part of an international arts community and draw inspiration from shared experiences, perspectives and skillsets.

Collaborate: Take part in collaborative projects with your fellow students and course partners to diversify your outlook and understanding of fine art practices.

Partnership network: Get involved in our partnerships network and have access to specialist workshops, studio visits, field trips and exhibitions. These currently include Sotheby’s Institute of Art and the UAL Research Centre for Transnational Art, Identity and Nation (TrAIN).
