The Visual Arts program aims to develop artists with intellectual rigor, critical spirit, creative mindset, deep ethical sense, and social responsibility. Its educational approach focuses primarily on training professionals engaged in research, evaluation, and creative production. The program provides opportunities to explore the complex levels of audiovisual discourse through both theory and artistic practice. Its scope extends to fostering production for the positive transformation of the artistic scene and cultural landscape of the region.
The graduate of Visual Arts will be empowered to actively participate as an active member and creator of the 'contemporary' in art. They will be aware of art's ability to convey the pulse of social change: to perceive who we are and construct meanings in tune with the present and from the position we occupy in cultural geography. The graduate will possess artistic, critical, managerial, and self-management skills enabling them to develop innovative proposals in the field of visual arts. They will also be capable of creating, developing, and designing projects of artistic, environmental, community, educational, and advertising nature. Additionally, they will employ creative processes and continuous improvement methodologies demanded by the professional performance of these practices.
The School of Visual Arts has a teaching staff made up of visual artists and academics with creative and theoretical projects in development. Professionals with PhD and Master's degrees; and visual artists with extensive experience and recognized national and international solvency. It is essential for the school to count on experienced artists and researchers who are familiar with the local artistic environment and/or are recognized for their pedagogical work. This will guarantee a high-level training that will have a direct impact on the construction of a local art scene.
