Our people
Meet our team
The Faculty of Fine Arts offers a supportive, creative academic environment where a mix of over 150 regular faculty, emeriti and sessional instructors work together with more than 30 professional staff to offer a dynamic and experiential educational experience.
The fine arts have always enhanced and transformed our lives and our world. As such, we provide the finest training and learning environment for artists, professionals, and students involved in the arts. We nurture the arts in performance, in writing, in exhibition and in scholarship.
As part of the university and wider community, our faculty provides a space for diverse contributions to cultural expressions and ensures the growth of knowledge and experiences of life-long learners. Our overarching mission is to prepare students for the cultural challenges of the 21st century.
