Department of Art

Welcome to the Visual Arts at WCSU

The Department of Art is located on the Westside Campus in the newly constructed Visual & Performing Arts Center. This modern facility houses all three departments of the School of Visual and Performing Arts: Art, Music, and Theatre. The Art wing includes studios for Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography, as well as the MFA program and Art Gallery. These professional quality spaces add tremendous value to an already quality arts education. It is a diverse and invigorating environment that inspires, motivates and fosters a vibrant culture of creative problem-solvers.
