Program Benefits

- Students engage in internships and gallery exhibits to discover practical applications beyond the studio, and gain exposure to regional and national art markets.
- Faculty members are active professional artists with connections to the art industry.
- Students participate in off-campus projects, extracurricular projects such as mural painting and graphic design campaigns.
- Visiting speakers and off-campus experiences allow students to see art and design at work in the local industry.
