Mission
The College at Brockport Department of Art endeavors to provide students with an extraordinarily distinctive education, one that combines a time-honored, “hands on” approach with the most current advances in media technology. Our curriculum’s diverse courses are designed to educate the whole individual by simultaneously enhancing the imagination and nourishing the intellect. Through the integration of rigorous studio practice and liberal arts coursework, students advance the development of their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and ultimately gain a broader perspective of the world in which they live. Additionally, we strive to foster a stable learning environment in which students can gain the essential expertise and commitment necessary to work as an artist in today’s changing world.
Welcome
It's an exciting time in the Department of Art and I'm very pleased, as the Chair to update all of you on upcoming plans.
Since my arrival, I have committed my energy to undergraduate recruitment and creating vital connections in the Rochester community. In the next year we look to enhance our program by adding a digital component to our offerings, add Departmental Honors and continue to increase community internship opportunities for our students. Our current students are energetic and participate actively in exhibiting work around the area in venues such as the Roco Gallery, High Falls Center, The Genesee Center for the Arts, the U of R Harnett Gallery and the Burchfield-Penney Art Center in Buffalo. Our most recent alumni are keeping active too!
Sincerely,
Phyllis Kloda,
Chair, Department of Art
