Our mission is to enhance our students' knowledge, skills, and creative abilities, enabling them to produce high quality work in the competitive field of studio art.

Students can choose to concentrate in areas including painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, ceramics digital media and metals. After taking a variety of beginner, intermediate and advanced courses in a particular area, students are expected to attain a thorough knowledge of the medium and its aesthetic possibilities. Through individual and group critiques and a great deal of personal attention from faculty members, students will be guided through the process of becoming unique artists in terms of style, content and aesthetic vision.
