ABOUT OUR DEPARTMENT


The Art Department offers various minors and concentrations.  Internships are available in the Graphic Design concentration as well as the Teaching Licensure concentration.  All courses are open to students who meet the proper prerequisites.

The new Arno Maris Art Gallery is located on the second floor in the Ely building on the main campus. It will present national and international exhibitions as well as noted alumni artists.  The WSC Downtown Art Gallery, located at 105 Elm Street in Westfield is a recent addition  to the Art Department.  It directly links the community with the college via a variety of art exhibitions relating to various cultures, noted area artists, as well as an annual student art exhibition. It is the mission of both galleries let art serve as an educational vehicle for students and community

The art studios are open to all art majors for all of their studio-related projects.  Students may participate in various fine arts clubs, which along with the department, sponsor field trips to galleries throughout the year.  Field trips to galleries in New York City and Boston are a regular part of student activities.
