Founded in 1852 Limerick School of Art and Design is a constituent school of Limerick Institute of Technology and is one of the largest Irish schools of art and design. It has consistently maintained its prominence as a major provider of art and design education in Ireland with over 700 current students.
Well-established nationally as a centre of excellence, LSAD has seven major disciplines in Fine Art Painting, Print, Sculpture and Combined Media, Fashion, Product Design (Ceramics), Visual Communications and Art and Design Teaching. Art and Design education at LSAD continues to be driven by a fusion of modern and traditional didactic principles with active learning as a core activity.
The MA SPACE programme is tailored towards the development of a sustainable artistic praxis rather than training in certain media or genres, challenging students to think conceptually through a strong theoretical and critical grounding and work creatively in new ways in the area of social practice.
The MA SPACE programme equips you with appropriate research skills, educates you in the roles you will play within communities/situations/spaces, and ultimately offers you a deep level of authentic experience and situated learning within the context of the delivery and documentation of your self-chosen social practice project.
The programme is delivered by both LSAD staff and a varied range of national and international visiting lecturer specialists through an exciting mix of active learning, field research and engagement in the wider world.
