Art and Design Survival Guide

Regional Galleries and Museums

The Nordstrand Visual Arts Gallery is designed to offer the college and community an exhibition space featuring local and regional talent. Its primary purpose is to serve as a teaching gallery, which presents visiting artists, students and faculty an opportunity for display. Each spring semester students are encouraged to enter the Student Juried Art Competition which features work done in a variety of media. Graduating students are required to have senior shows which showcase their cumulative learning experience over a four-year period. These exhibits provide visual stimulus for studio, art history, art education and art appreciation classes. In addition to frequenting our gallery, we encourage students to visit as many art venues as they can over their college career. Here are some art spaces that we recommend:
