Performing and Creative Arts Department Overview
Our departmental programs share a mission to educate, mentor, and train students who wish to pursue both the practice and theory of the arts. In addition to preparing students majoring in the arts and those planning to receive advanced degrees in graduate school, the Department’s courses meet the needs and interests of students in the liberal arts and sciences, and foster the role of the arts within the framework of a liberal arts education.

Gallery Talk: Thursday, October 9, 2:30-3:30 PM/clue event
The CSI Art Gallery presents Anthroposcenery, a solo exhibition of paintings and wall drawings by Beth Livensperger. Conceived as an installation, these images present snippets of history, education, transit, nature, and conflict. They are a fragmented response to the ferociously intense time we are living in. The exhibition will run from September 15 until October 24, with a opening reception on September 18 at 4:30, and a gallery lecture October 9 at 2:30 p.m.
