McNally School of Fine Arts

Awakening artistic potential and developing critical rigour.

The McNally School of Fine Arts is focused on redefining the milieu of artistic research dedicated to Southeast Asia, and our position in the world of contemporary art. From sculpture, printmaking, drawing, installation and photography to technology-based art, performance art, interdisciplinary art, as well as critical studies in art history and art theory, students are imbued with an innovative and interdisciplinary structure, designed to provide them with a transformative learning experience that awakens artistic potential and develops critical rigour. This is bolstered by the mutual interaction between the School’s different programmes, which creates a dynamic environment that foments a symbiosis of theory and practice.
