The visual arts program attracts highly dedicated and talented faculty, staff, and students from around the world to create an environment focused on the exchange of artistic values, ideas, and aesthetics.
In 2009, the visual arts programs will relocate to the new Dow Center for Visual Arts. This exceptional facility includes separate studios for ceramics, sculpture, painting, drawing, metals, digital arts, photography, printmaking and fibers. The light-filled complex also features a professional gallery space for exhibitions.
