Art Reveals Values
It clarifies and communicates the ideas, personalities and events that are significant to us individually and as a society. Making art is a natural expression of a culture through individual creative acts.
At Elmhurst University, art students develop a deeper understanding of our times, our world, and our selves by studying the language of visual forms. In a comfortable, small-college environment, our students experience the joy of creativity in close collaboration with professionally active faculty.
As an art student, you will:
- Exhibit your art around campus
- Gain real-world experience through internships
- Access 24/7 art studios and computer technology
