About Us August 14, 2016 - 12:40pm

Our experience of contemporary life is remarkably visual. Images cover gallery walls and city streets and are perceived in person and online in a range of institutional and unconventional settings. Photographs, signs, sculptures, advertisements, corporate logos, furniture, and architecture define and organize global cultures. We are surrounded by powerful images and ideas, in both everyday objects and creative visual statements, which help us live, work, understand, experience and learn.

Facilities November 3, 2016 - 10:56am

Located in building 325, the Visual and Applied Art Department maintains a generous learning environment furnished with a broad range of modern facilities and equipment designed to support many aspects of visual study.
