Arts Initiatives

Through its artist residencies, guest lectures, workshops, performances, master classes, exhibitions, concert series, and other programs that bring visiting artists to the College, students are given exceptional opportunities to work with and learn from distinguished professionals and scholars.

The Arts Institute supports internships that allow students to discover career options in the arts and combine learning in the classroom with on-the-job experience. Working with the arts faculty and staff, the Arts Institute also develops collaborative projects with area arts organizations to enhance College and community programs in the arts.
