We approach the study and practice of art in an enquiring, investigative,experimental and research-minded way, consciously contributing to thelively discourses of contemporary art, nationally and internationally. Our staff are actively involved in research as well as teaching and between them have a broad and diverse range of interests and expertise. Slade facilities and infrastructure for research support the discourse around painting, sculpture and fine art media. Studio space and facilities have been expanded and enhanced in recent years and a large research centre and project space has been established in the Woburn Square studios.
