The Department of Sculpture is the only department which focuses on the art of sculpture
in Taiwan. Since the 1960s, the department has had more than 900 graduates and become

We impart to students the knowledge of sculptural culture and professional art through
academic research and study, making use of the qualities of Eastern art in the context of
western sculpture form. Our curriculum structure allows students to create their own field
of study through course selection rather than arbitrary division into study groups. Students
then proceed to refined modern sculpture workshops in "Sculpture", "Metalworking",
"Woodcarving", "Stone Carving", and "Mixed Media."
We invite teachers from around the world to make students realise the principle of art
creation in different eras, regions and historical backgrounds through the international
exchange.

Okinawa Prefectural University of Arts
Okinawa Prefectural University of Arts was founded on the principle of the relentless
pursuit of beauty: both the distinctive beauty created by Okinawan culture, and the
universal beauty of humankind. In accordance with that principle, we are a comprehensive
arts school consisting of a Faculty of Arts and Crafts, a Faculty of Music, graduate schools,
a Research Institute, and a University Library and Arts Museum. Taking advantage of our
geographical position at the crossroads of East Asia and the Pacific region, we have entered
into agreements for artistic and scholarly exchange with ten universities in China, Taiwan,
Thailand, Indonesia, Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom, and we actively encourage
students to study abroad.
This year marks our 29th anniversary. Thus far, approximately 3,300 graduates have
completed their studies and are now actively engaged in creative endeavours, some
working as musicians and performers, some as artists, as well many more in other artistic
fields.
