Association for the PhD in the Visual Arts
The question is not whether artists should get PhD's or not -
the question we should be asking is - what will happen when they do?

LEONARDO
Leonardo is the leading international peer-reviewed journal on the use of contemporary science and technology in the arts and music and the application and influence of the arts and humanities on science and technology.
Leonardo is interested in work that crosses the artificial boundaries separating contemporary arts and sciences. Featuring illustrated articles written by artists about their own work as well as articles by historians, theoreticians, philosophers and other researchers, the journal is particularly concerned with issues related to the interaction of the arts, sciences and technology.
Leonardo provides readers with special features through the MIT Press Journals site: supplementary multimedia and audio files to accompany article content and the Just Accepted program, which posts manuscripts that have been accepted by the journal up to three months prior to publication.
