| THE MVS: CURATORIAL STUDIES The Masters of Visual Studies at the University of Toronto (MVS) is unique in Canada. A small, elite two-year professional program, the MVS offers two fields of study: studio art practice (4-5 students admitted per year) and now curatorial studies (admitting 3-4 students per year). The MVS offers a small group of students programs of interdisciplinary Studio Practice or Curatorial Studies in combination with other knowledge-based activities such as research, critical writing and professional practice within contemporary visual art. The internship placement provides a link between the student and the culturally diverse city of Toronto, with its many private and public galleries, artist-run centres, museums, arts publications and studios. DEADLINE FOR MVS: CURATORIAL STUDIES APPLICATIONS FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 2010 For application information, please consult the website http://www.art.utoronto.ca/graduates/vis/index.html Direct all inquiries to: graduate.visualstudies@utoronto.ca Students enrolled in the MVS: Curatorial Studies will develop skills in curatorial practice, art criticism, and exhibition practice in the field of contemporary art within an interdisciplinary environment appropriate to a University setting.
