• Create conditions for the emergence of new sensitivities among the academic community.
• Deal with teaching practices oriented to forming subjectivities through critical renewal and continuous art education and consistent with the sociocultural context. 
• Articulate the pedagogical exercise with artistic research processes, developing in students an attitude of constant experimentation and research.
• Generate dialogic processes with the community to the collective construction of new sensibilities and forms of appropriation lined with the artistic and cultural redefinition.
• Integrate the local practices of research and creation to the production of global processes of diffusion and artistic interaction.
