Arts
Now combined in one department, the Visual and Performing Arts programs share a common vision of art education. Instruction in both programs balances acquisition of technical skills with opportunities to show and share artistic expression with the wider community.
Students may enroll in classes that offer an introductory arts experience as well as classes that offer advanced practice of a particular artistic medium. Area professionals give instruction for all arts classes.
Facilities
Working spaces include a 590-seat proscenium arch theater with covered orchestra pit, art gallery, scene shop, prop shop, costume loft, dance studio with a wooden sprung floor, choral and chamber orchestra rehearsal spaces, two classrooms, and three piano practice rooms. Four large, well-lighted studios are available for drawing, painting, sculpting, and ceramics. The photography lab is located in the June L. Biedler '43 Science Center.
