Bethel University Art Department Our goal at the Bethel University Art Department is to guide young artists towards personal lifelong self-exploration through visual media.

Based on the most recent archeological evidence, historians have concluded that human beings began creating art at least 75,000 years ago. Art, therefore, is a uniquely human endeavor, deeply ingrained in all facets of human existence. Bethel University’s Art Department encourages students to participate in—and contribute to—this enduring history of personal expression through visual media. The goal of the curriculum is to develop the student's abilities to create, understand, and appreciate art. This involves producing works of art as well as gaining knowledge of the theories and historical contexts of art. Our program is designed to help students develop the appropriate technical skills, problem-solving skills, work ethic, visual language, conceptual maturity, and professional know-how to confidently enter the art world when they leave Bethel Univeristy.

Something big just happened at Bethel! 🎨🎶🎭 We are thrilled to announce the launch of the School of Visual & Performing Arts — a brand new school within the College of Arts & Sciences that brings Art, Music, and our beloved Renaissance program together in one creative home for the first time ever. We love to educate and create opportunities for performers and creatives to do incredible things — and we cannot wait to see what this next chapter brings.💜
