With the completion of the Paul Heath Community Education and Fine Arts Center, the College now has the space and the resources necessary to develop a comprehensive program in the visual arts.

In addition to standard courses in painting, 2-D design, and drawing,  a course in ceramics is also available. Students will learn both hand and wheel techniques as well as clay forms, decorations, glazes, and kiln firing. The art department also offers two semesters of darkroom photography, and a new graphic design program.

Department facilities include a spacious, north light studio, photography darkroom, graphics lab, and dedicated space for ceramics. The Heath Center also contains several hundred feet of gallery space and lighted display cases for student art exhibits.
