Our Public Art and Performative Practices MA prepares artists and art professionals for the increasing demand in the sector to develop publicly interactive, performative and immersive work.

This MA degree course (formerly called Public Art and Performance MA) encourages a practical and industry-minded approach to exploring how contemporary art experiences engage with the public. It runs collaborations with national and international art organisations, which so far have included: City of London Corporation, London Festival of Architecture, Tate Modern, Artichoke, the ICA, Ca' Pesaro in Venice, RMIT in Melbourne, Fontys University in Tillburg, Public Space Academy, Fondazione Marta Czok (Rome/Venice), Museo Spazio Pubblico in Bologna, The Line (London's first dedicated Public Art Walk), Tower Bridge and The Monument to the Great Fire of London. This MA programme is one of the founding members of the International Masters Network for Art in Public Space, developing links with leading masters in this area, across the world. The course also enjoys a unique connection with CREATURE (London Met's own research centre for Creative Arts, Cultures and Engagement): through this, our MA graduates are invited to continue to be part of our thriving research community.

The course is designed to develop career paths for artists, curators and facilitators interested in any creative medium (visual art, performance, video, installation, sculpture and digital art), with a specific focus on developing public-facing projects.

With funding bodies such as Arts Council England demanding that inclusivity and audience engagement are championed, the course also delves into the question of arts funding and how to gain commissions and promote yourself as an art professional.

All tutors are internationally recognised industry professionals, approaching this subject from different angles and areas of expertise. The course leader is also offering anyone interested in this MA degree course a complimentary portfolio/project review session to ensure you're ready to showcase the best of your work at the interview stage.
