Canisius offers a studio art foundations minor, as well as elective and core curriculum courses in studio art. All courses are designed to improve students' conceptual, formal and technical art making skills. Foundations minor students will also develop a formal portfolio under the direction of working professional artists.
Student art work is continually exhibited in the Peter A. and Mary Lou Vogt Art Gallery located along the studio art corridor on the fourth floor of Lyons Hall.
By graduation, studio art minors will have the knowledge, experience, and portfolio to continue for a BFA as well as for some graduate programs with an art studio component.
