CSUMB Catalog

Our Visual and Public Art major helps you develop lifelong skills that bring together studio and community art approaches to artistic production, exhibition and education. You can learn painting and murals; sculpture, installation and performance art; arts education and museum studies; and photography and digital art. Students and practitioners work together to learn skills of historical analysis, individual aesthetics, community collaboration, art production, evaluation and art distribution. Come join us as we create public art that is meaningful to you, represents the hopes and dreams of local communities, and serves as a bridge between cultural and social groups.
