Faculty of Fine Arts
Concordia is home to Canada’s most comprehensive fine arts faculty, with nearly 4,000 students in nine departments. It offers a wide range of visual, performing, cinematic, design, digital and therapeutic arts programs.
Donations support facility upgrades, financial aid, and enable students to explore new artistic ideas through travel grants. This allows students to participate in art exhibitions, conferences, concerts, performances and festivals.
The generosity of our community also highlights the impact of arts on health and wellbeing, facilitates collaborative relationships across disciplines, and creates opportunities for Concordia students to contribute to the broader community.
Art Volt Collection
The Art Volt program supports recent Fine Arts alumni as they transition out of their academic degrees and embark on their careers. Art Volt reinforces the knowledge and practices students gain during their degree, while providing real-world experiences and connections they can build on in their personal and professional lives.
This includes the Art Volt Collection (AVC), a professional, juried sales and rental marketplace that showcases the works of recent Faculty of Fine Arts graduates, helping them launch their careers by connecting them with art patrons.
