Art at Goldsmiths
In the Department of Art we specialise in making,
curating and writing about contemporary art in a
dynamic, critical and interdisciplinary environment.
We have a world-leading reputation that brings
together students and researchers from all over
the globe. We work with a network of artists,
curators, galleries and museums both in London and
internationally to create an inspiring and dynamic
place in which to study and develop an artistic
practice. Many of our graduates are among the
most recognised names working in art today.
Goldsmiths art students form an important
part of the stimulating environment that is
the London art scene. The Departments
international reputation enables it to establish
and maintain links with many of the worlds
most prestigious institutions and university
art departments. This, together with the
cosmopolitan nature of the student body,
provides unique opportunities to develop
cross-cultural collaborative projects.
Following rapid expansion in the Department
over the past two decades, the spectacular
Ben Pimlott building (right) opened its
doors to students in January 2005. This
building provides purpose-built teaching
space on campus, including art studios,
lecture theatres and digital media labs.
Every student is allocated a tutor and a studio
space appropriate to their needs. This is a
place in which to work, to meet and spend
time with other students, and to have tutorials.
The studios are open, and are occupied by
students from all years. This arrangement
encourages the sharing of knowledge,
interests and experience between students.

Graduate insight
Phoebe, graduated in 2009
Fine Art at Goldsmiths is
completely open. You are not given
projects to do or segregated by the medium
you choose to work with. Instead you are
given a studio and begin to work as an artist.
The whole point of learning is to help you grow,
not necessarily change. It facilitates abilities
that already exist. I definitely got a lot out of
my time at Goldsmiths. I am now working
as an artist, and just got back from
a three-month residency in
New York where I had my
first solo show.
