UMBC's Intermedia and Digital Arts (IMDA) M.F.A. Program is accepting applications from artists seeking to expand or reinvent their practice. Committed to art that poses unique conceptual and social challenges, IMDA offers an environment that provides artists a studio, courses in emerging methods, contemporary art and theory, and high-end research centers. Graduate students also take advantage of Baltimore's vibrant art scene pursuing issues such as food justice, the environment, transportation, urban communities, translation, race and gender identity, gift economies, and technology in both intellectual and formal terms.
State-of-the-art and emerging facilities in a variety of media-based disciplines result in projects such as street interventions, distributed networks, games, installations, performances, sculptural objects, prints, drawings, photographs, videos, interactive pieces, animations, public displays, and other socially engaged works.
Financial support includes Research Assistantships which provides up to full-tuition remission, plus health care and a stipend. Students are additionally eligible to apply for internal research and merit-based grants to support their work.
