During your studies at Franklin College you will have around-the-clock access to all studio spaces and you will be able to exhibit your work every semester in student art shows. You will meet renowned artists whose art shows and presentations are brought to campus every semester and you will travel with professors to various art museums and galleries. Our best students are awarded with various annual art awards intended to help with the tuition expenses, to support creative projects or to enable students to explore skills particular to their own interest.
The art program allows for two possible tracks, which may be combined in a double major: one primarily focusing on the development of studio skills and the other on study of art history. The goal of both options is to provide exploration of individual creativity in the fields of ceramics, digital fine art photography, drawing, graphic design, and painting while at the same time developing students’ understanding of the major achievements in the history of art.
