The Arts

Over 50 years of rich history at FPU

What happens when art is more than an elective?
possibilities are created.

Art is all around us and is part of our everyday life--from the more commonly acknowledged mediums of painting, drawing and ceramics to architecture, digital photography and computer design.

Our music, drama and visual art programs cover the spectrum from classical to contemporary. Ensembles and activities are open to students from all majors and levels of experience. Our programs regularly present concerts, performances and art exhibits featuring our students as well as guest artists.

Students are also just a short commute to some of the finest art venues, museums, galleries, theaters and art organizations in the world. Our central location gives students a wide variety of opportunities to visit, volunteer and intern.
