The mission of the Art Department is
to support a learning environment that encourages visual literacy, promotes the aesthetics of cultural diversity, enhances the quality of life, and provides our students with the opportunity to develop the skills and techniques necessary to be successful in the field of art.

The Art Department hosts a variety of annual activities for our students and the public. Our Student Art Exhibition showcases more than 200 student artworks. The art faculty display their work every Fall semester in the Faculty Art Exhibition. The Empty Bowl is an annual fundraiser organized by ceramics faculty and students, which raises money for local food banks. Workshops and lectures are presented by visiting artists throughout the school year.
