Welcome to Art & Design
Because we are a 25-minute drive to St. Louis, enrolling in our program offers an ideal opportunity to study art on a large, serene campus while having easy access to the cultural institutions in a metropolitan center. Our expansive and updated facilities fill two adjacent buildings with fully outfitted studios, classrooms, and a beautiful exhibition gallery.
The Art and Design faculty are fully invested in both teaching and creative scholarship, actively exhibiting and lecturing regionally and nationally. With undergraduate art degrees in studio, art history and art education, and graduate degrees in art therapy and studio, SIUE Art and Design holds ACATE (Accreditation Council for Art Therapy Education) and NASAD (National Association of Schools of Art and Design) accreditations, ensuring our curriculum meets national standards for teaching art and following safety protocols.
