Our facilities include fine art studios for drawing, painting, 陶瓷和雕塑, printmaking, and photography. We also have state of the art digital labs for animation, graphic design, digital photo, 以及电子游戏开发. The Fine Arts Gallery serves all of our students and the wider community by providing compelling exhibits and artist talks. In addition, our Graphic Design faculty maintain a Risograph Lab for printing student projects and publications.
