Mission Statement
The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Art Program will prepare students for a lifelong vocation or avocation in a variety of visual arts media.
Facilities
The Rio Grande John W. Berry Fine and Performing Arts Center opened in 1981. A signature glass atrium introduces visitors to the Center and serves as an entry to the 500 seat state-of-the-art Alphus R. Christensen Theatre. The theatre hosts numerous university and community productions and serves as a cultural hub to residents in a five-county area of Southern Ohio and West Virginia.
Within the Center, the Art Department houses a Mac computer lab with Adobe software for web and print production, a large-scale color printer, a fully equipped darkroom and multi- purpose classrooms.
The Esther Allen Greer Museum houses a 3,000 square foot exhibition space, museum prep room for framing and preparing artwork for display, multi-purpose classrooms and the University Archives. Among the museum’s holdings are numerous prints, drawings, paintings and sculpture comprising the Brooks Jones Endowment Collection.
The Art Annex was constructed in 1997. This 10,000 square foot building houses equipment and dedicated space for woodworking, metalworking, stone carving, printmaking, drawing, painting, hand building and wheel throwing ceramics, as well as a number of kilns and a foundry.
Degree Requirements
The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree is a professional degree with greater major course requirements than a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree. The BFA is designed primarily for students who are interested in professional art production, print or web design, private school or studio teaching, museum, gallery or curatorial work, graduate school, and other areas in which an extensive visual arts background would be an asset or a necessity. A “C” grade is required in all ART courses for transferring students.
