Studying Studio Art at DePauw

Positioned on the front lines of cultural innovation, today’s artists play an integral role in society as leaders of public discourse and facilitators of positive change. The studio art program at DePauw can help you find your place among them, giving you the tools you need to master the conceptual foundations and essential techniques of visual communication. In this collaborative environment, you can chart your own path toward a life of creativity, service and meaningful impact.

No matter what your artistic interests might be – photography, sculpture, painting, drawing, ceramics or something else altogether – the Peeler Art Center is an ideal home to explore your passion. From studio spaces where you can create your masterpiece to gallery spaces where that masterpiece can be displayed, it offers abundant resources, tools and equipment to support you and your craft. You can also take your artistic curiosity off campus through trips to nearby cities, research opportunities or internships and study-abroad programs around the world.

Small classes. Big ideas.

A life-changing experience.
