Historical Background
The Department of Studio Art at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) is one of the four departments in the Claire Trevor
School of the Arts. It became a department in the School of Fine Arts in 1988. Prior to that, studio art was an area of
concentration within the School of Fine Arts. The School of Fine Arts has been renamed twice and is currently called the
Claire Trevor School of the Arts.
The Department of Studio Art takes a wide-ranging view of contemporary art practices. Its graduate program offers a rigorous,
interdisciplinary environment for professional training in the visual arts with emphases available in Feminist Studies and

the University Art Gallery (formerly known as the Fine Arts Gallery and the UCI Art Gallery, respectively).
