An extension of the studios and classrooms, the department  fosters vibrant environments for students to interact, exchange ideas  and view and showcase bodies of work within the larger urban community.  The spaces provide students from every discipline myriad opportunities  to gain essential, hands-on experience, stimulating artistic expression  and professional development through collaboration.

As an extension of the classroom, the Shop supports students by providing a professional environment to hone the process of presenting, marketing, and selling work to the public. Through community partnerships, ancillary programming and representation of alumni, faculty and staff, ShopColumbia bridges professional practice with the student learning experience.
