The Studio Arts Program of the Department of Art and Art History focuses on the production aspects of visual studies. Sage Art Center is a place where art is produced, analyzed and exhibited; it provides access to all the materials, supportive resources, faculty and staff necessary for a rich studio experience. Our program is focused on contemporary approaches to art production; it strives to produce technically adept students with an understanding of art’s place in culture.

The program at Sage Art Center recognizes the extensive range of experience and interests that liberal arts students maintain; our program of study invites, accommodates, and engages individuals with little or no previous art experience. At the same time that our program administers to those with marginal interests, it also provides a rich environment for thoroughly intensive study. Studio Art majors are expected to be vital participants in the activities of the Department and the art community in general. Majors are expected to establish a presence at Sage Art Center that promotes an environment conducive to rich, creative art production. By the senior year majors should be seen as valuable resources for the students in all introductory level courses.

Sage Art Center is located at the north end of campus in between the Towers Dorms.  For a campus map please visit: http://www.rochester.edu/maps/
