Overview

Located in the urban center of Montana, Art students in the Montana State University Billings grow their professional experience and artistic practice in an engaged learning environment. We aim to develop each artist as an individual in small group settings by integrating critical thinking, advanced technology, and creative space.

Careers

While many artists go on to become self-employed by producing and marketing their own art work, others find work inside organizations as designers, craftspeople, or technicians. Our graduates have become successful small business owners such as printers, artists/craftsmen, graphic designers, as well as museum workers, curators, gallery workers, educators and administrators.
The Art Department offers a career oriented seminar with guest speakers from the art community in Billings as a means of educating and preparing students for real world activities and the competition to survive in it.

Accreditation

The Department of Art is accredited by the NASAD (National Association of Schools of Art and Design).
