The department offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in studio art (which encompasses ceramics, design, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture), electronic design & multimedia, art history, art museum studies, and art education.
Mission: The CCNY Art Department aspires to create a dynamic community of engaged artists, scholars, educators, and learners, promoting innovative art practices, thought-provoking scholarship, and progressive pedagogy that all contribute to the fields of art making, design, art history, and art education, both locally and internationally.
Operating as usual
Listen to Harriet Senie, director of Museum Studies in the Art Department and member of the Mayoral Advisory Commission on City Art, give an interview with Brian Lehrer on NPR.
Ulysses S. Grant famously led the Union Army to victory over the Confederacy, so why is his tomb uptown being targeted by activists, and what would removing it accomplish?
Harriet Senie, full professor and Director of Museum Studies in CCNY's Art Department, is a member of the Mayor's newly announced advisory committee on city art, which focuses on monuments and public markers.
The new 18-member committee will over the next three months recommend guidelines to City Hall.
