The Department of Art offers students the opportunity to acquire a background of knowledge and skills, and to develop their abilities in the visual arts. The programs prepare students for many professions in teaching, business, and industry as well as for advanced professional study in art. Students with interests in animation, graphic design, fashion, art history, art education or the studio arts, including ceramics, photography, painting, printmaking, and sculpture will find appropriate courses of study in the department.

SENIOR EXHIBITION
Every year, the graduating seniors from the Art Department put on an exhibition of their Capstone projects—the culmination of years of hard work and learning. This year, due to stay-at-home orders and precautions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we celebrate the achievements of our students through an online exhibition.
