Art Department

Mission

The Edgewood College Art Department prepares students for careers, continued study, civic engagement, and lifelong practice in the visual arts. Through study of visual art and design, art education, art therapy, graphic design, web design, and histories, perspectives, and theories of art and visual culture, our students develop aesthetic awareness, technical skill, and the capacity for visual thinking. Our mission is to develop students’ creativity and commitment to building a just and compassionate world in order to add value to their lives and their communities within and beyond the field of art.
