MFA in Illustration & Visual Culture
The MFA in Illustration & Visual Culture program at WashU’s Sam Fox School combines studio practice in illustration and writing with the study of visual and material culture.
With a focus on illustrator authorship, this two-year, fully residential program is made for illustrators, comic artists, and designers who are interested in popular visual matter of the modern and contemporary periods. We draw on the vast resources of Washington University, including the Dowd Illustration Research Archive.
“If you love making art, and comics, if you love writing, if you want to teach, if you love making illustrations and drawings that communicate something to our world, but you also want to understand why that stuff matters, this is the place for you.”
