Fine Arts

The Department of Fine Arts is vibrantly interdisciplinary, combining technical training in artistic production with high levels of conceptual and creative thinking.

The Fine Arts department, located in the heart of Braamfontein in Johannesburg is part of a dynamic cultural and artistic centre within the WITS School of Arts. We combine a rigorous studio-based programme with the pursuit of academic excellence, giving students a range of options to explore and critically play with.

As we believe that Fine Arts education extends beyond the academy, we encourage our students to participate in this wider art arena. This coupled with the combination of conceptually and technically challenging studio practice and rigorous academic curricula, equips our graduates with the skills to excel in many different fields.
