We live in the most visual culture ever, and you want to be part of the picture. Trinity’s Art and Design programs will get you ready. Studio Art, Design, and Art Education programs at Trinity set students up for careers in visual culture by focusing on both creative skills and critical thinking. Using a Christian perspective, we introduce students to the theories and practices that structure the art world. Our students learn to explore how their work in visual culture can influence the world. Proximity to Chicago’s globally significant art and design scenes means that our students have access to artists and designers, world-renowned museums and galleries, and a wide range of internships. Trinity’s Seerveld Gallery brings the art world to campus. Significant artists from Chicago to the other side of the world interact with, influence, and inspire our students.
