Fine Arts students think adventurously and create work that unites
intellectual curiosity and material skills. The program is the most
technically diverse on campus, encompassing ceramics, drawing,
glassblowing, painting, printmaking, jewelry, and sculpture. Students
learn interdisciplinary approaches to conceiving, creating, and
discussing work that reflects our contemporary visual culture.
Graduates of the program engage in a wide variety of activities,
including gallery exhibitions, artist residencies, gallery management,
curating, and teaching.
