Overview

In the Visual Arts courses at the University of Illinois Springfield, faculty and students work together in a professional and creative learning environment. The Bachelor of Arts curriculum allows students to tailor a course of study suited to their professional and personal ambitions. Students have the option to focus their studies in one media area - or sample a broad range of art and design perspectives.

Features

As an extension of classroom teaching, the department sponsors exhibitions of regionally and nationally recognized artists in the Visual Arts Gallery located on the second floor of the Health and Sciences Building.

Students are expected to attend openings and workshops to gain exposure to contemporary art and access to the technical expertise of professional artists.

Student participation is encouraged both in installation and management of the art gallery.

Visual Arts majors culminate their study at UIS with the presentation of their own work in a Senior Exhibition held every spring at the Visual Arts Gallery.

In addition, the Art Students League, a student group, organizes and curates exhibitions in the Access Gallery, an art gallery in the Visual and Performing Arts Building.
