What Faculdade de Artes Visuais - UFG does

Faculdade de Artes Visuais (FAV) is a constituent academic unit of the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), a public federal university located in Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil. FAV delivers higher education programs in visual arts, design, and architecture, including undergraduate degrees (Bacharelado and Licenciatura in Visual Arts, Architecture and Urbanism, and Design modalities), two Stricto Sensu graduate programs (PPGACV in Art and Visual Culture, and PPGPC in Project and City), five Lato Sensu specialization courses, and extension offerings such as a QGIS urban-studies course.

The institution's infrastructure includes specialized laboratories for photography, engraving, painting, ceramics, and computing; an on-campus exhibition gallery (Galeria da FAV); an experimental exhibition laboratory (ExpoLab); and the LACE research laboratory linking visual arts, culture, and education. FAV also operates a distance-learning undergraduate program (Licenciatura em Artes Visuais EaD) through a partnership with the Universidade Aberta do Brasil (UAB), a model that has been running for 16 years. Enrollment is administered through Brazil's unified federal university admission system (SiSU), and broader admissions occur via Instituto Verbena.

As a federal public university, FAV charges no tuition; funding flows from the Brazilian federal government under the constitutional right to free public higher education. Faculty members and graduate students have earned external recognition, including a 2026 Prêmio ABCA regional highlight for a FAV-organized exhibition, a 2026 Prêmio Bicicleta Brasil 2nd place for an architecture alumnus, and a 2023 Latin American Design Award. FAV is governed by a Diretor, Vice-Diretor, and coordinator-level staff within UFG's administrative structure.
