The Facility For Arts Research (FAR) is a venture of the Florida State University College of Fine Arts, offering space and specialized equipment for experimental printmaking, spatial audio, electronics and digital fabrication to researchers and faculty as part of a rigorous interdisciplinary investigation into art-making. Students have the opportunity to participate in special research projects through direct faculty mentorship. FAR engages and educates 21st century makers in the collaborative, cross-disciplinary experiences of contemporary arts research, supporting and promoting the integration of digital and traditional art and design methods to create unique objects that might be impossible to make in other ways.
