Overview
This Bachelor of Fine Arts with a Major in Fibres and Material Practices, offered by Concordia's Department of Studio Arts in the Faculty of Fine Arts, explores the technical and creative potential of the textile arts with an emphasis on sustainability, labour and craft alongside experimental approaches.

Full-time study takes three to four years (90-120 credits), with classes held on the Sir George Williams campus and admission only in the Fall term. Applicants submit a letter of intent (maximum one page) and a portfolio of 15-20 digital artwork samples demonstrating technical skill and conceptual development. The program suits students pursuing studio-based, material-focused fine arts practice with an emphasis on textiles and fibre-based media.
