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.

Professionals with PhD and Master's degrees; and visual artists with extensive experience and recognized national and international solvency.

This will guarantee a high-level training that will have a direct impact on the construction of a local art scene.
