Studio Arts
LMU Studio Arts offers our students a transformative educational experience with a broad conceptual and formal approach to the fundamentals of fine art and design. Our students achieve visual and cultural literacy through individual artistic, creative, and theoretical exploration, all within the context of a liberal arts education. Offering a specialized BFA degree with concentrations in 3D studies, art education, drawing, multimedia arts, painting, photography and visual communication design, as well as a general BA art degree and a popular minor.
Ample exhibition opportunities exist for our students, in the student art gallery throughout the year and in final senior thesis and juried exhibitions at the end of each year.
Our students continually have opportunities to take advantage of the energy and vitality of the Los Angeles cultural environment.
LMU Studio Arts acknowledges and is committed to dismantling oppressive systems and inequities. We engage in the process of reimagining what and how we teach and create, by ensuring that diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism permeate the curriculum.
