The University of Maryland Baltimore Co. Intermedia and Digital Arts (IMDA) is now accepting applications for the M.F.A. program. We are committed to emerging practices that pose unique conceptual and social challenges and provide an environment for artists to expand or reinvent their practice. Students have studios, access to lab facilities, research centers and coursework at a Carnegie I research university. Engaged faculty, teaching opportunities and a range of state-of-the-art labs facilitate video and audio, computers, photography, and printmaking resulting in projects such as street interventions, distributed networks, interactive and physical computing, installations, performances, sculptural objects, animations, public displays, and other socially engaged works.

Students take advantage of the vibrant Baltimore art scene pursuing issues of food justice, translation, gender and race identity, gift economies, and technology in both intellectual and formal terms.

Research Assistantships include financial support for up to full-tuition remission, plus benefits and a stipend with additional opportunities to research and merit based grants to support their work.

Throughout the year, many prominent and emerging artists present their work and lead one-on-one critiques with graduate students. Past artists include: Janine Antoni, Zoe Beloff, Catherine Chalmers, Paul Chan, Abigail Child, Annica Cupetelli and Cristobal Mendoza, Paul DeMarinis, Hasan Elahi, Eteam, Nina Katchadourian, Alison Knowles, Matmos, William Pope.L, Michael Rakowitz, Frances Torres, Mark Tribe, Ted Victoria, Fred Wilson, Martha Wilson, Karen Yasinsky, The Yes Men.
